Last year, my Singapore-based sister insisted my mother and I join her for the Christmas.
My mum, a fearless woman, would get strangely nervous on flights. Perhaps the only thing that
convinced her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together our declining bond.
Growing up, moments with Mum were painfully short-lived because I spent most time
at the boarding school, reuniting only during the holidays. Every year, she would eagerly
await my return, which would always lead to constant loving scenes. Those cherished（珍爱，
怀念） moments were gradually vanishing as I moved away for university. Soon, our
relationship became tense. She seemed unable to comprehend me and her stubborn（固执的，
倔强的） and old-fashioned advice forced me to shut myself. But the more I pulled away, the
more I felt a longing for the bond that had grown so dim. Perhaps Singapore would give us a
chance to bring it back to life.
I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum would refresh my mother,
who was an art student. However, I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the
Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness about ocean pollution. “It’s
art, Mum! Be more appreciative.” I defended.
Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her to the kid’s zone. We signed up for a
joint sketching activity, hoping that would help us connect. As our creative juices flowed, our
faded relationship began to take on the hues and shades of something sincere and beautiful.
“Look!” she excitedly pointed towards a digital screen that displayed our creations.
“That one is ours.” Mum went up and reached out, touching the fish as it moved its tail back
and forth in the virtual tank.
Looking around, I saw children sharing moments with their parents, and my own
childhood flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner innocence and delight
at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, who was like me, had lost a vital
connection to responsibilities of motherhood.
“Our time together was like that of friends. You were my mother, and I’m a child
following you around.” My mum said to me with a smile.
24．What made Mum accept the visit to Singapore
A．The resolve to overcome the nervousness on flight.
B．The desire to restore relationship with her children.
C．The sincere invitation of my Singapore-based sister.
D．The expectation for Art Science Museum as an artist.

A．She felt it a huge waste to make it from plastic.
B．She showed a great interest in this work of art.
C．She didn’t think it good enough to be exhibited.
D．She considered it beneficial to ocean protection.
26．What can we learn from the sketching activity
A．It revealed Mum’s inner ignorance like a girl.
B．It explored causes for faded bond between families.
C．It let Mum totally lose responsibilities of motherhood.
D．It provided an opportunity to share moments with families.

C．Actions speak louder than words. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.

After a busy morning, lunch can feel like just the pick-me-up you need-but sometimes
the meal that you thought would energize you is the very thing that makes you want to nap at
your desk.
Feeling tired after lunch, or post-meals in general, is known as postprandial（餐后）
somnolence（助睡）—or, colloquially, the food coma（昏迷）.
Part of this phenomenon is due to basic physiology (生理学): When humans eat, most
of our blood goes to the digestive（消化） organs to process the food, said Sandra Arévalo,
director of community health and wellness at Montefiore Nyack Hospital in New York state.
The tendency to get tired after eating isn’t inherently suggestive of something amiss (出
错的). But there can be additional factors that worsen this natural response, making getting
through the rest of the workday or any activities feel like a slog. Here’s what to watch out for
and how to make adjustments.
When it comes to why you feel overly tired after eating, a common cause is consuming
meals that are heavy in terms of quantity or quality. Not eating breakfast can lead to
overindulging later in the day if excessive (过度的) hunger makes controlling your appetite
difficult, Arévalo said.
Sometimes, however, the make up of certain foods can contribute to tiredness. Fats are
the hardest nutrient to digest because their molecules are much larger than those of protein or
carbs, said Julie Stefanski, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. If you
had a meal high in fat—such as fried foods or pizza—that could make you feel tired. Meals
high in added sugar or refined or highly processed carbohydrates can have the same effect.
The fiber in so-called whole foods like corns slows the absorption of sugar into the body,
which means they don’t cause blood sugar or insulin spikes and instead give you more stable,
lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.
“A five-minute walk or something helps to improve circulation and alertness (机敏), as
well,” Arévalo said.
28. What can we know from the third paragraph
A. Blood is bad for the digestive organs. B. Blood has varieties of tasks to carry out.
C. Eating habits have a great effect on health.
D. Eating too much can burden the digestive organs.

Engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo are successfully using a robot to
help keep children with learning disabilities focused on their work. This was one of the key
results in a new study that also found both the youngsters and their instructors valued the
positive classroom contributions made by the robot.
“Overall, the findings demonstrate that the robot has a positive effect on students,” said
Dr. Kerstin Dautenhahn, a professor of electrical and computer engineering.
Educators have in recent years explored the use of social robots to help students learn,
but most often, their research has focused on children with autism (孤独症). As a result, little
work has been done on the use of socially assistive robots for students with learning
disabilities.
Along with two other Waterloo engineering researchers and three experts from the
Learning. Disabilities Society in Vancouver, Dautenhahn decided to change this, conducting
a series of tests with a small humanoid (仿人的) robot called QTrobot.
Dautenhahn said the robot’s ability to perform gestures using its head and hands,
accompanied by its speech and facial features, makes it very suitable for children with
learning disabilities.
Building on promising earlier research, the researchers divided 16 students with
learning disabilities into two groups. In one group, students worked one-on-one with an
instructor only. In the other group, the students worked one-on-one with an instructor and a
QTrobot. In the latter group, the instructor used a tablet to direct the robot, which then
autonomously performed various activities using its speech and gestures. While the
instructor controlled the sessions, the robot took over at certain times to lead the students.
Besides introducing the session, the robot set goals and provided self-regulating strategies, if
necessary. If the learning process was getting off- track, the robot used strategies such as games,
riddles and physical movements to redirect the students back to the task.
“Students who worked with the robot,” Dautenhahn said, “were generally more engaged
with their tasks and could complete their tasks at a higher rate compared to the students who
weren’t assisted by a robot.
32.What can we know about Dautenhahn’s research
A. It seeks to provide a treatment for autism.
B. It attempts to replace teachers with robots in teaching.
C. It studies the effects of robots on students with learning disabilities.
D. It intends to educate students to be creative and productive.
33.What is the sixth paragraph mainly about
A. The role the robot played. B. The outcomes of the two groups.
C. The process of the research. D. The range of the participants involved.

34.How did the QTrobot help distracted students concentrate in class
A. It warned the student directly by speech.
B. It assigned tasks for the student to complete.
C. It informed the instructor to intervene in the learning process.
D. It attracted the student’s attention through interesting activities.
35.What does Dautenhahn’s research imply
A. Robots promote students’ academic performance greatly.
B. There is great potential for using robots in the education system.
C. Teachers are defeated by robots when it comes to motivating students.
D. Students are becoming more independent with the assistance of robots.

Critical thinking is the art of using reason to analyze ideas and dig deeper to get to our
true potential. It doesn’t mean you’re thinking harder or longer. 36 Here are some tips
and ideas to help you build a foundation for critical thinking.
Question your assumptions（假定、假设）. We make a lot of assumptions about almost
everything. It’s how our brain processes certain pieces of information, and how we get along
in everyday life. You could say they are the foundation of our critical framework. 37
Then the whole foundation needs to be rebuilt, from the bottom up.
Don’t take information on authority until you’ve investigated it yourself. Instead of
double-checking everything anyone says, we tend to label information as either coming from
a trustworthy or not trustworthy source. This keeps us from double-checking every piece of
information that comes our way, saving time and energy. But it also keeps us from getting to the
bottom of things we think of as coming from a trustworthy source, evenwhen they don’t. 38
Put yourself in other people’s shoes. Empathy can also help you develop your critical
thinking skills. 39 You may find that a little understanding facilitates a deeper insight
into other people and their behavior. The deeper your insight into yourself and others, the
wiser your decisions will be.
40 There is no way to learn better than learning from your friends. If you only
want to be a big fish swimming in the little pond just because your ego (自我) feels good,
keep this part. If you are wondering about how to develop critical skills, make friends with
smart people and throw away your ego.
A. Actually, it’s about thinking better.
B. Surround yourself with people smarter than you.
C. Be someone that people know that they can count on.
D. You should not judge others until you fully understand their situation.
E. But what if they turned out to be wrong, or at least not entirely truthful
F. The reason is that understanding does not always go with the right action.
G. So what is published in a magazine or online doesn’t mean it’s necessarily true.

While I was riding a bike, I noticed a man about half a mile in front of me. He was

I started 42 faster and faster. And every block, I gradually closed the distance.
Finally, I 43 him and passed him by. I felt like a 44 , while he seemed unaware that we
were in a 45 .
After I passed him, I realized that I had been so 46 on competing against him that I
had 47 my turn, had gone nearly six blocks past it and had to turn around.
Isn’t that what 48 in life We spend most of our time 49 with neighbors, friends
and family, trying to 50 them, or trying to outdo them — while there was never a
competition in the first place.
We use most of our time and energy competing with others instead of 51 our
destination, and we miss out on our own paths to our destinies 52 .
Unhealthy competition is a continuous process and a never-ending cycle. No matter
what you do, someone will always be 53 you; someone with a better job, a nice car and
more money.
Feel grateful for what life has offered you, stay concentrated on your 54 and live a

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。
Next to our house lived an old couple, who, accustomed（习惯的、适应的） to country
life, were unwilling to move to the city to live with their son and stuck in a lonely existence
for many years. It seemed that they didn’t feel like making any new connections with others,
including their next-door neighbours.
The neighborhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose.
Rumor(流言)was that they sat inside and drank tea all day. The only words we ever heard
from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!” The rosebushes crawled along the fence. Or
rather, they served as a fence between our house and theirs, overgrowing the support.
I was eleven at the time and the oldest of our family girls. A suitable playing court was
a headache problem for us when we felt like playing softball games, which was our favourite
sport then. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses,
but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose.
One day, we had a softball game in our yard. Mary was trying to catch a fly ball. She
stumbled(绊倒)over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just
at that moment, Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary. She screamed angrily,
“Look at what you’ve done to our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble. You have
no idea what this rosebush means to me!”
Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had
happened. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those e outside right
now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested.
“They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help repair the rose
fence. While Mom was examining the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked
sad. And it wasn’t her nose that was red，but her eyes.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150字左右。

范文1：
Paragraph 1:
Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath. Before she uttered a word, my mother said with sincerity, “We are sorry about the flowers. The girls will repair the rose fence.” My sisters and I exchanged guilty glances, our faces flushing red. Unexpectedly, Ruby smiled through her tears. “I know we’re particular about these roses, but they’re very special because they remind me of my dead mother.” Hearing that, we breathed a sigh of relief. In the hours that followed, we diligently repaired the fence and lovingly tended to the roses.
Paragraph 2:
A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. There were a variety of colorful roses blooming, attracting bees and birds. The whole summer witnessed our efforts together with Ruby’s in caring for the roses, , which painted a beautiful picture.It didn’t take long for a deep friendship to blossom between our two families. Almost every day, bathed in the fragrance of roses, we played happily with the old couple. The only words we now heard from them were “Join us for tea.” Then laughter filled the air. And the rose fence wasn’t a fence any longer. My mother had turned it into a bridge.
范文2：
Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath. We waited to see who would shout first and what terrible things would be said. “We are sorry about the flowers. The girls will fix them and help weed the roses.” said Mom. My sisters and I looked at each other in horror, but Ruby smiled through her tears. “I know we’re particular about these roses, but they’re very special because they remind me of my mother.” Soon both women were down on their knees examining the damaged bushes together.
A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. My mother and Ruby worked together on the roses all summer and many summers to follow. So did my sisters and I. A friendship was formed between the families. Ruby became part of our family, spending many happy hours at our house, especially during countless birthdays, graduations and weddings. And the rose fence wasn’t a fence any longer. My mother had turned it into a bridge.
