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.
1. What’s the intention of this text
A. To introduce a new book. B. To offer professional tips.
C. To analyze a study of insects. D. To suggest throwing a party.
2. 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.
3. 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.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些方法帮助人们智胜夏季最讨厌不速之客——蚊子。

推理判断题。根据文章第一段“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).(不过，还是有一些方法可以智胜夏季最讨厌的派对不速之客，尤其是如果你只想在院子里享受一个夜晚的话。)”可知，文章主要是为了介绍一些专业的建议帮助人们智胜蚊子。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Only female mosquitoes feed on humans, and for good reason: The proteins in your blood help them grow and mature their eggs.(只有雌性蚊子以人类为食，而且有充分的理由：你血液中的蛋白质有助于它们的卵生长和成熟。)”可知，雌性蚊子吸食人类血液的目的是为了自己的卵生长和成熟。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段““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.(“蚊子通过嗅觉和视觉来捕猎，” Wineguard说。“它们可以闻到二氧化碳，看到目标的热量特征。”不喝酒可以让你的体温更低，让你更难被找到，所以可以考虑选择鸡尾酒。)”可知，蚊子能够发现热量高的目标。故选B。
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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. What does the underlined word “hone”in paragraph 5 mean
A. Believe. B. Sharpen. C. Restore. D. Dominate.
7. 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.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了在美国电影学会2022届毕业典礼上，马来西亚女演员杨紫琼被授予了美国电影学会荣誉艺术博士学位，并总结了其在典礼上的发言。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“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.(马来西亚女演员、60岁的杨紫琼在美国电影学院2022届的毕业典礼上接受了荣誉艺术博士学位，她在演讲中与最新一届毕业生分享了一些智慧。)”可知，尽管杨紫琼已经60岁了，她还是获得了艺术博士学位。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段““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.(“他们教我做的第一件事就是蜷缩和翻滚，然后是如何侧身倒下，然后是如何仰面倒下。过了一段时间，我突然意识到，他们是在教我如何摔倒。”他们对我说：“你不知道怎样下来，怎能上去呢？”这一课一直伴随着我。我必须学会如何摔倒。嗯，你可以说我是在骨子里学的，真的。”)”可知，杨紫琼从替身演员身上学到了只有摔倒了才能学会站起来。也就是说，人应该学会在摔倒后爬起来。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“eventually progress to the point where I was running on rooftops and jumping onto moving trains.(最终我学会了在屋顶上奔跑，跳上行驶的火车。)”可知，那些时刻还教她磨练自己的技能。所以划线单词指的是“提升、磨炼”自己的技能。选项A“Believe (相信)”；选项B“Sharpen (磨快)”；选项C“Restore (恢复)”；选项D“Dominate (占据主导地位)”。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据杨紫琼在倒数第二段所说的“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(今天我想和大家分享的是，我们的滑倒和绊倒是我们飞行的秘密。相信我，这是交易的一部分。没有失败的成功叫做运气。它不能被重复或依赖。正是从失败中我们学习和成长)”以及文章最后一段“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.(这位出演《摘金奇缘》的明星在演讲的最后说：“要勇敢，抓住机会，打破障碍，为自己的独特之处感到自豪。最重要的是，不要害怕坠落，因为你正在学习飞翔。”)”可知，杨紫琼认为一个人想要成功就要勇敢，不怕犯错，不怕失败，因为正是从失败中我们才能学习和成长。故选A。
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.
8. Which statement would Dr. Holt-Lunstad probably agree with
A. Healthy friendships contribute to quality sleep.
B. There have been guidelines for making friends.
C. Two to six close friends may be the most ideal.
D. Friendships can be crucial factor in well-being.
9. How was Dr. Degges-White’s survey
A. It summarized the statistics in previous studies.
B. It set standards on the exact number of friends.
C. It distinguished between friendship and intimacy.
D. It dismissed the influences of social media factors.
10. According to Franco, you have to make new friends if _________.
A. 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
11. What matters in maintaining close friendships according to Franco
A. Quantities of time. B. Meeting frequency.
C. Your healthy moods. D. Personalities of friends.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于友谊的研究，研究人员认为友谊和亲密关系是主观的，而且一个人的在线网络的规模可能对他们的幸福感没有任何有意义的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段““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.”(“这是一个很自然的问题。” Holt-Lunstad博士说，“理想的”朋友数量，“就像我们对睡眠时间和运动量有指导和建议一样，这与健康有关。”)”可知，Holt-Lunstad博士认为友谊是我们是否幸福的关键。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“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.(但友谊和亲密关系是主观的，研究人员没有一个广泛使用的尺度来定义这些概念。目前还不清楚社交媒体是如何影响这一切的，因为研究表明，一个人的在线网络的规模可能对他们的幸福感没有任何有意义的影响。)”可知，Degges-White博士的研究忽略了社交媒体因素的影响。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段““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.”(“而且，不同的人会展现出我们不同的一面。所以，当你有一个更大的朋友群时，你就能体验到自己热爱高尔夫球和热爱汽车的这一面。如果你觉得自己的身份缩小了，或者感觉不太像自己，这可能表明你需要不同类型的朋友。”)”可知，Franco认为当你觉得自己的个人身份受到了限制时，你就应该交朋友了。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“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.(你实际花在朋友身上的时间也很重要。Franco表示，平均而言，非常亲密的友谊往往需要大约200个小时才能建立起来。)”可知，Franco认为花在朋友身上的时间在维持友谊方面很重要。故选A。
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.
12. What may contribute to the ineffectiveness of the optical sensors
A. Poor visibility. B. Blocked roads.
C. Complicated tasks. D. Inaccurate calculation.
13. What do paragraphs 3-4 focus on
A. Stimulating the robot fingers to move the items steadily.
B. Increasing the precision of touch of the robot hand.
C. Comparing the computer world with the real circumstances.
D. Testing if touch information can facilitate the formation of the object shape.
14. What is the attitude of Lerrel Pinto towards the system
A. Neutral. B. Suspicious.
C. Favorable. D. Pessimistic.
15. 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
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项新的低成本技术可以让机器人手“感觉”一个不熟悉的物体的形状，并仅根据这些信息就能熟练地处理它。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“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.(许多机器人在处理物体时通过“视觉”来跟踪物体，但是当物体处于黑暗中或部分被遮挡在视线之外时，光学传感器无法捕捉到物体的整个形状。)”可知，在黑暗中或者部分被遮挡在视线之外时，光学传感器就捕捉不到物体的整个形状，由此可知，能见度差会造成视觉传感器不起作用。故选A项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“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. (利用来自每个传感器的二进制接触信息(“触摸”或“未触摸”)，该团队建立了一个计算机模型，该模型可以在处理过程的每一步确定物体的位置，并移动手指以平稳地旋转物体。)”可知，研究者利用每个传感器的接触信息建立一个计算机模型，来处理每一步确定物体的位置，并移动手指旋转物体，根据第四段中的“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.(接下来，他们将这种能力转移到操作真正的机器人手上，成功地操纵了以前从未遇到过的物体，如苹果、西红柿、汤罐和橡皮鸭。)”可知，接下来，他们把这中能力转移到真正的机器手上，并成功操纵了以前未遇到过得物体。由此可推断，这两段重点介绍测试触摸信息是否有助于机器手判断物体形状的形成。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“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.(纽约大学的Lerrel Pinto研究机器人与现实世界的互动，他想知道这个系统是否会在更复杂的任务中变得不那么有效，比如打开瓶盖。)”可知，Lerrel Pinto教授想知道在更复杂的任务中，这个系统是否汇编的不那么有效，由此可知，Lerrel Pinto教授对该系统持怀疑的态度。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“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.(现在，一项新的低成本技术可以让机器人手“感觉”一个不熟悉的物体的形状，并仅根据这些信息就能熟练地处理它。)”并结合下文中对该新技术研发过程的介绍可知，本文主要介绍的是一项新的技术可以依靠“触觉”来解决机器手靠“视觉”产生的问题，所以本文的标题为“凭感觉工作的新型机械手，而不是凭视觉”可以概括本文的主题。故选C项。

Test yourself before you start.
You might be surprised to find that you’ve got some foundations of knowledge to build on. ____17____.
Write questions as you learn.
____18____. 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.
____19____.
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. ____20____. 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

【16题详解】
根据上文“But no, I don’t exactly feel “trained” to save lives.(但不，我并不觉得自己接受过拯救生命的“训练”)”可知，此处上下文说的是虽然作者认真接受过训练，但是印象不深刻，与F项“Practically nothing has ever made it to my long-term memory(几乎没有什么能进入我的长期记忆)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据本段的主题句“Test yourself before you start(开始之前先测试一下自己)”可知，本段主要讲的是与预先测试有关的话题。由此可知，下文讲的是预先测试的好处，与G项“Pre-testing sparks your curiosity and puts you in a frame of mind to remember (预先测试能激发你的好奇心，让你有一种记忆的心态)”表达的含义一致，故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“This can trick your memory into thinking that it doesn’t have to work because the information is all stored in your notebook.(这会欺骗你的记忆，使你认为它不必工作，因为信息都存储在你的笔记本中)”可知，此处上下文对学习这门课的过程中做笔记持质疑的态度，与B项“Don’t waste time making notes (不要浪费时间做笔记)”表达的含义一致，故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Wait a day, then see how much you still know.(等待一天，然后看看你还知道多少)”可知，此处上下文说的是等待一下，之后看看你能回忆出多少东西，与A项“Challenge your recall later (稍后检验一下你的回忆)”表达的含义一致，故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据第一段“But no, I don’t exactly feel “trained” to save lives.( 但不，我并不觉得自己接受过拯救生命的“训练”)”、“to make sure any training doesn’t go to waste(确保任何训练都不会浪费)”以及空白处上文“Talking to James has inspired me to book myself onto yet another CPR course.(与詹姆斯的交谈启发我为自己预订了另一门心肺复苏课程)”可知，此处上下文说的是作者与詹姆斯交谈后，反思了自己心肺复苏课程训练效果不佳的问题，重新预订了另一门心肺复苏课程，并决定学好这门课，与C项“But this time I’m determined to do it right (但这次我决心做对)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。

47. 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 tuning 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, I’d 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：

My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me.

My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me. As she was unable to walk, we had to transport her around in a wheel chair. I started helping my mother with her daily activities. Everyday I was there with her, helping her practice walking, smiling and encouraging her to move on. I even enrolled her in a special online diary program, recording her recovery progress, and this made her happy. For months her recovery was seen slow but sure, and eventually she was able to give up wheel chair and walk fully again.
My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship. She had gone from the brink of death, with the damage to her legs so severe, to a full recovery. This difficult period taught me about courage, determination and the strength of the human spirit. My mother may be more fragile and weaker than before, but she refused to be frustrated and keep on being a determined mother model that she always presented whenever I was at home. To me, my mother will always be my source of love and faith in the future.

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.
1. What’s the intention of this text
A. To introduce a new book. B. To offer professional tips.
C. To analyze a study of insects. D. To suggest throwing a party.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. What does the underlined word “hone”in paragraph 5 mean
A. Believe. B. Sharpen. C. Restore. D. Dominate.
7. 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.
8. Which statement would Dr. Holt-Lunstad probably agree with
A Healthy friendships contribute to quality sleep.
B. There have been guidelines for making friends.
C. Two to six close friends may be the most ideal.
D. Friendships can be crucial factor in well-being.
9. How was Dr. Degges-White’s survey
A. It summarized the statistics in previous studies.
B. It set standards on the exact number of friends.
C. It distinguished between friendship and intimacy.
D. It dismissed the influences of social media factors.
10. According to Franco, you have to make new friends if _________.
A. 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
11. 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.
12. What may contribute to the ineffectiveness of the optical sensors
A. Poor visibility. B. Blocked roads.
C. Complicated tasks. D. Inaccurate calculation.
13. What do paragraphs 3-4 focus on
A. Stimulating the robot fingers to move the items steadily.
B. Increasing the precision of touch of the robot hand.
C. Comparing the computer world with the real circumstances.
D. Testing if touch information can facilitate the formation of the object shape.
14. What is the attitude of Lerrel Pinto towards the system
A. Neutral. B. Suspicious.
C. Favorable. D. Pessimistic.
15. 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 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. ____16____. 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. ____17____.
Write questions as you learn.
____18____. 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.
____19____.
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. ____20____. 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

47. 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 tuning 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, I’d 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150左右：
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship.
