A
“Unfortunately, 85 percent of what makes us attractive or less to mosquitoes(蚊子) is hardwired in our genetic circuit board,” says Winegard, author of The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator. Still, there are ways to outsmart summer’s most annoying party crashers, especially if all you want is to enjoy an evening on your patio (露台).
Know your blood type
Only female mosquitoes feed on humans, and for good reason: The proteins in your blood help them grow and mature their eggs. “She’s just being a good mom,” Wineguard says. “People with blood type O are her top of choice. They get bitten twice as much as people with blood type A, with blood type B falling in between.”
Stay cool
“Mosquitoes hunt by both smell and sight,” Wineguard says. “They can smell the carbon dioxide and see the heat signature of their target.” Avoiding alcohol can keep your body temperature lower— making you harder to find — so consider choosing a cocktail instead.
Wear light colors
Avoiding dark clothing can also keep you cooler, but that’s not the only reason it may offer relief. Mosquitoes, like many biting flies, are attracted to darker colors. The thinking behind this is that the animals they typically feed upon are larger, dark-bodied mammals(哺乳动物).
Get rid of standing water
Even a glass of drinking water left on the deck can become a breeding ground for mosquito eggs — and mother mosquitoes lay about 100 eggs at a time. “They don’t need very much at all to breed. It can be a backyard toy , like a truck that has a bit of water in it, or a crushed pop can,” says Winegard. If you get rid of it, they’ll go somewhere else to lay their eggs.
What’s the intention of this text
To introduce a new book. B. To offer professional tips.
C.To analyze a study of insects. D. To suggest throwing a party.
22. Why does a female mosquito feed on human blood
A. To hatch more eggs. B. To raise a large family.
C.To identify blood types. D. To fully develop her body.
23. What can we learn about mosquitoes according to Winegard
A. They can trace the smell of alcohol. B. They have energy-locating abilities.
C. They feed off dark-bodied animals. D. They need abundant water to breed.
B
The Malaysian actress, Michelle Yeoh, 60, shared some wisdom with the American Film Institute’s newest graduating class in a speech as she accepted an honorary doctorate of fine arts at the class of 2022 graduation ceremony.
She recalled her early years in the industry. After an injury dashed her dreams of going into ballet, Yeoh bounced back at a gym where several stuntmen (特技替身演员) trained and ended up learning some tricks of the trade from them.
“The first thing they taught me what to do was to tuck and roll, then how to fall on my side, and then how to fall on my back. And after a while, it dawned on me that they were teaching me how to fall,” she recalled. “And they said to me, ‘How are you going to go up if you don’t know how to come down ’” “That lesson sticks with me to this day. I had to learn how to fall. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally,” Yeoh added.
The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated(旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn’t land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said.
“These moments taught me perseverance, courage and humility,” she said. “They also taught me to hone my skills and eventually progress to the point where I was running on rooftops and jumping onto moving trains. I’m not asking you all to do that, okay What I want to share with you today is that our slips and stumbles(绊跌)are the secrets to our flight. Trust me, that’s part of the deal. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. It is from failure that we learn and grow,” Yeoh continued.
The Crazy Rich Asians star concluded her speech: “Be courageous, take chances, break barriers, be proud of what makes you unique.” “And most importantly, don’t be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly,” Yeoh said.
What can we learn about Michelle Yeoh from the first two paragraphs
A. She was tricked by several stuntmen.
B. She was passionate about working out in a gym.
C. She won a doctor’s degree in fine arts despite her old age.
D. She was terribly defeated by an injury and discouraged in her early years.
25. What lesson did Michelle Yeoh learn from the stuntmen
A. God helps those who help themselves.
B. Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise.
C. Successful people are learning experiences with others.
D. The greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
26. What does the underlined word “hone”in paragraph 5 mean
A. Believe. B. Sharpen. C. Restore. D. Dominate.
27. What are the keys to our success according to the text
A. Mistakes and failure. B. Luck and humility.
C. Courage and pride. D. Opportunities and skills.
C
“It’s a natural question,”Dr. Holt-Lunstad said the “ideal”number of friends. “Just like we have guidelines and recommendations for the amount of sleep we get and how physically active we are, this is health relevant.” While she and other friendship researchers admit there aren’t many studies that have specifically tackled the question of how many friends people should aim for, those that have been done offer a range.
Dr. Degges-white recently conducted a survey of 297 adults, which has not been published or subject to peer review but found that 55 percent of participants believed two to three close friends was ideal, while 31 percent thought four to six was was the goal. But friendship and intimacy are subjective, and there isn’t a widely used scale researchers share to define those concepts across studies. It’s also unclear how social media factors into all of this, as research suggests the size of a person’s online network may not have any meaningful impact on their perceived well-being.
While friendship research offers some standards, it may be more useful for most of us to consider if you need more friends. Dr. Marisa Franco recommends starting with a fairly obvious but powerful question: Do I feel lonely “Also, different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a larger friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves golf, and this side that loves cars,” she added. “If you feel like your identity has sort of shrunk, or you’re not feeling quite like yourself, that might indicate you need different types of friends.”
Of course, making friends in adulthood isn’t always easy. Research shows people struggle with it because they find it difficult to trust new people. For those reasons, it is often easier to start by reawakening old relationships. The amount of time you actually spend with your friends matters, too. Franco suggests that on average, very close friendships tend to take around 200 hours to develop. But spending time with friends you feel ambivalent(情绪复杂的) about — because they’re unreliable, critical, competitive or any of the many reasons people get under our skin — can be bad for your health.
Which statement would Dr. Holt-Lunstad probably agree with
Healthy friendships contribute to quality sleep.
There have been guidelines for making friends.
Two to six close friends may be the most ideal.
Friendships can be crucial factor in well-being.
How was Dr. Degges-White’s survey
It summarized the statistics in previous studies.
It set standards on the exact number of friends.
It distinguished between friendship and intimacy.
It dismissed the influences of social media factors.
According to Franco, you have to make new friends if _________.
your friend circle is large enough B. you have a wide range of hobbies
C.your personal identities are restricted D. you lead an unhappy adulthood life
31. What matters in maintaining close friendships according to Franco
A. Quantities of time. B. Meeting frequency.
C. Your healthy moods. D. Personalities of friends.
D
Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical(视觉的)sensors can’t take in an item’s entire shape when it’s in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique lets a robotic hand “feel” an unfamiliar object’s form— and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.
Roboticist, Xiaolong Wang in University of California, San Diego and his team wanted to find out if complex coordination(协调) could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data. The researcher attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about $12, to the palm and fingers of a four -fingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn't catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object,” Wang says. In this case, the robot’s task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.
The researchers first connected a large volume of touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including ball. Using binary contact information (“touch” or “no touch”) from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object’s position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.
Next they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully manipulated (操纵) previously unencountered objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks. Transferring the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the binary sensor data were so simple; the model didn’t rely on accurate measurements.
Digging into what the robot hand perceives, Wang and his colleagues found that it can re-create the entire object’s form from touch data, informing its actions. He and his team are set to present thier handiwork at an international conference called Robotics: Science and Systems.
New York University’s Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots’ interactions with the real world, wonders whether the system would become less effective at more complicated tasks including opening a bottle cap. Wang’s group aims to tackle more complex movements in future work as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers. The researchers will also try adding vision to improve touch data for handling complicated shapes.
32.What may contribute to the ineffectiveness of the optical sensors
A. Poor visibility. B. Blocked roads. C. Complicated tasks. D. Inaccurate calculation.
33.What do paragraphs 3-4 focus on
Stimulating the robot fingers to move the items steadily.
Increasing the precision of touch of the robot hand.
Comparing the computer world with the real circumstances.
Testing if touch information can facilitate the formation of the object shape.
34.What is the attitude of Lerrel Pinto towards the system
A. Neutral. B. Suspicious. C. Favorable. D. Pessimistic.
35.What is the best title for the text
A. Robotics: Science and System B.New Robot Rotates Items Skillfully
C. New Robot Hand Works by Feel, Not Sight
D. From the Computer Model to the Real Robot Hand

My friend James did some first-aid training at work last week to learn the fundamentals of CPR(心肺复苏术) and he asked if I’d ever done the same. Yes, I’ve attended several CPR sessions over the years. And I’ve always come away with a wealth of information. But no, I don’t exactly feel “trained” to save lives. 36 . Here’s what I should have done — and what you can do now — to make sure any training doesn’t go to waste.
Test yourself before you start.
You might be surprised to find that you’ve got some foundations of knowledge to build on. 37 .
Write questions as you learn.
38 . This can trick your memory into thinking that it doesn’t have to work because the information is all stored in your notebook. Instead, write yourself questions for the future.
39 .
Wait a day, then see how much you still know. If it’s hard to remember, but just about possible with effort, then that’s perfect. You need that little bit of struggle to start keeping information in your brain.
Keep coming back.
Put a note in your diary to test yourself again in a week, then ten days after that, then a month on.. Use the questions you wrote on the day to keep challenging yourself.
Talking to James has inspired me to book myself onto yet another CPR course. 40 . Remember that it’s the next day when the real training starts.
A. Challenge your recall later
B. Don’t waste time making notes
C. But this time I’m determined to do it right
D. I’ve always taken it seriously and been focused
E. It was essential to take notes quickly and to pay attention
F. Practically nothing has ever made it to my long-term memory
G. Pre-testing sparks your curiosity and puts you in a frame of mind to remember

One day, my 12-year-old daughter participated in a school poetry reading event. All her classmates were invited to write a “lie poem” about how 41 they were and read them aloud. They were supposed to 42 untruths about themselves that made them sound 43 wonderful. As I listened to the poems, I realized that the children were actually 44 the picture of their future. By “lying” to themselves, they were creating a 45 of who they wanted to be in the future.
I couldn’t help admiring the school for 46 the children to dream big in such a special way, even if it might not be the first intention. In fact, most of us are 47 to see the truth of who we could be. My daughter’s school developed an unintended 48 to that difficulty: If it’s hard for you to imagine the 49 in yourself, then you might want to begin by expressing it as a 50 , as did the children who wrote the poems.
Think up some stories about who you would like to be. In due course, this 51 exercise would help you build the necessary blueprint for 52 your achievements. Without a picture of your 53 self, you can’t live into that self. So 54 it till you make it. The lie will become the 55 in the end.
41. A. rich B. busy C. great D. smart
42. A. point out B. make up C. hold back D. rely on
43. A. unbelievably B. unconsciously C. unacceptably D. unreasonably
44. A. exaggerating B. restoring C. admiring D. clarifying
45. A. sample B. vision C. message D. principle
46. A. forcing B. requesting C. motivating D. warning
47. A. unable B. anxious C. nervous D. unwilling
48. A. excuse B. balance C. solution D. connection
49. A. interest B. courage C. expectation D. potential
50. A. fantasy B. fortune C. benefit D. reference
51. A. healthy B. creative C. gentle D. formal
52. A. ensuring B. informing C. stretching D. measuring
53. A. highest B. biggest C. happiest D. bravest
54. A. stop B. forget C. hide D. pretend
55. A. dream B. reality C. memory D. nightmare

As Shaoxing is a water town, the unique transport named Wupeng boat 56 (emerge) in this particular location in the Tang Dynasty. Wupeng boat, a Chinese gondola, also 57 (know) as black awning (雨篷) boat, got its name from 58 dark colour of its awning. There are straw mats for people to sit and lie on board. As the space is rather small, the boat may lose balance or even turn over if passengers stand on it. Each boat can hold about four persons. It is run by human power, 59 is another typical fact about this boat.
Wupeng boat has now become the symbol of Shaoxing. The famous Chinese writer Lu Xun mentioned this boat in many of his 60 (publication) because floating in a Wupeng boat is not only part of his childhood but also people’s life in Shaoxing. The breeze and 61 (cool) of water in summer would bring you a pleasant outdoor experience. Thus, the best time to ride Wupeng boats in Shaoxing is from March to September. But other months would be a good option for experiencing it 62 fewer travelers around.
Wupeng boats in different spots around the city have various routes.You can 63
(careful) choose and appreciate the historical 64 cultural old town on the small boat. Once you get to Shaoxing, find one of the few Wupeng boat ports, and ask what route they follow 65 (make) sure you see the attractions from your wish list.

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。
It was a chilly Friday night, and I had just returned from climbing one of the red rocks of Sedona. My father telephoned me as I walked through the arches to my dorm room and told me that my mother had been in a terrible car crash and had been taken to the intensive care unit (重症监护 病房) of a nearby hospital. When I got to the hospital, my father led me down a wide hallway with machines all around. A strong smell of medicine brought a sick feeling to my already turning stomach.As I turned into my mother’s ward, the cadaverous (形容枯槁的) condition of her body shocked me. Her face had swollen, her eyes had huge dark bruise,and she had tubes down her throat and in her arms. Gently holding her cold swollen hands, I said “hi” in a calm voice, controlling my urge to cry out.
She kept looking at me as she pounded her hand against the bed,looking painful. I turned my face away from her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face. That was when it struck me that I really might lose my mother. From that night on, my life completely changed. Up to that point, Id had the luxury of just being a kid, having to deal with only the exaggerated melodramas of teenage life. As my mother struggled first to stay alive and then to relearn to walk,my sense of priorities changed sharply. My mother needed me. The trials and trouble of my daily life at school, which had seemed so
important before, now appeared insignificant. My mother and I had faced death together, and life took on a new meaning for both of us.
After a week of treatment in intensive care, my mother’s condition improved enough to be moved to a regular hospital ward. She was finally out of danger but, because her legs had been crushed, there was doubt whether she would be able to walk again. I was just grateful that she was alive. Two months later, a sort of hospital suite was set up in our family room, and she was allowed to come home.
注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右；

A. 原创作文
My mother's return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me. Previously, it was she that prepared three square meals for me, tucked me into my quilt and helped with my schoolwork. Now, it seemed our role as mother and daughter was totally reversed. It was I that brought meals to her bedside, fed her and cleaned up afterwards. Also, I showered her, supported to and from the toilet and washed her dirtied clothes. Just within a few months, I was transformed from my mother’s well-fed and even spoiled sweetheart to her consistent and reliable guardian.
My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship. Previously, she was a strong bedrock who was always there for me when I needed comfort, rest and care. Sometimes, when I was stressed out in my academic life, I would vent out my anger on her, which invariably stirred up fierce quarrels between us. Now, however, I became my mother’s strongest supporter, both physically, emotionally and psychologically. The occurrence of our quarrels was reduced enormously and our relationship improved steadily. True, this devastating car crash robbed my mother of her health, but it also shaped me into a more mature and independent individual, upon whom my mother can always rely.
B. 官方范文
My mother's return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me. I would feed her, bathe her and help her to the bathroom. It struck me that I was pretty much playing the role of mother to my own mother. The difficult part for me was trying to be always upbeat, and to keep my mother's spirits up when she became frustrated with the pain and her inability to do simple things by herself. Looking after my mother wasn't much fun, but it felt good to be there when my mother really needed me.
My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship. In the past, we had more than our share of the strains of mother-daughter relationships. The accident threw us into a relationship of interdependence. To get my mother back, I had to help regain her strength and ability to resume an independent life. She had to accept my help as well as the fact that I was no longer a child. Since then, we have become the closest friends, genuinely listening to one another and truly enjoying each other’s company.
