Italian company Lablaco is working with fashion houses and brands to digitize their clothes in the growing “phygital” fashion market. Lablaco was founded in 2016 by Lorenzo Albrighi and Eliana Kuo, who both had backgrounds in luxury fashion. They were looking to improve the industry’s sustainability and promote circular fashion — the practice of designing and producing clothes in a way that reduces waste.
Pushing fashion into digital spaces helps generate data that is vital in efforts to move toward circular fashion. With Lablaco’s model customers can buy both a physical fashion item and its digital “twin” designed to be collected or worn in virtual environments. The physical and digital items remain paired even after sale, so if a physical item is resold, the digital one is transferred to the new owner’s digital wallet. The item’s creator can follow its after-sales journey. Without digitizing the product, as Albrighi emphasizes, there wouldn’t be any data to analyze and understand the fashion’s impact.
The fashion industry creates roughly 92 million tons of waste annually, and it is believed that digital fashion could have a role in reducing that figure. Kuo said digital spaces could be used as a test bed for the physical world.For example, a designer could release an item of digital clothing in 10 colors in digital spaces, and use the sales data to inform which colors to use for the real-world version. This on-demand model can help reduce fashion waste. Trying on virtual clothes could also reduce the amount of clothes that are returned in the physical world. Additionally,staging fashion shows in virtual spaces reduces the need for the fashion world to travel, thereby reducing its carbon footprint.
But for this innovation to become widespread, Albrighi says motivating brands is the key. With the phygital model, they can receive royalties (版税) when an item is sold and resold throughout its lifetime — a way to “produce less and actually earn more”.
24. What’s Albrighi and Eliana Kuo’s purpose of founding Lablaco
A. To digitize clothes and waste less.
B. To put the fashion design into practice.
C. To dominate the “phygital” fashion market.
D. To promote luxury fashion and earn more.
25. What do we know about Lablaco’s model
A. The physical and digital fashion items can be both resold.
B. The physical fashion items are paired with digital ones for sale.
C. Its product creator can check the after sales information any time.
D. Its owner would understand its impact by analyzing the data.
26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Digital spaces could be used as a test bed in the fashion industry.
B. Trying on virtual clothes could decrease the waste of fashion market.
C. Staging fashion shows in virtual spaces reduces the fashion waste.
D. Digital fashion could help reduce the fashion waste in several ways.
27. What can we infer from the text
A. Lablaco is setting the fashion.
B. Digital fashion has entered a new age.
C. Cooperation with Lablaco will be profitable.
D. The fashion industry lacks environmental awareness.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利Lablaco公司正与时装公司和品牌合作，在日益增长的“数字化”时尚市场上将他们的服装数字化，他们希望提高服装业的可持续性，并促进循环时尚——以减少浪费的方式设计和生产服装的做法。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Italian company Lablaco is working with fashion houses and brands to digitize their clothes in the growing “phygital” fashion market. Lablaco was founded in 2016 by Lorenzo Albrighi and Eliana Kuo, who both had backgrounds in luxury fashion. They were looking to improve the industry’s sustainability and promote circular fashion — the practice of designing and producing clothes in a way that reduces waste.(意大利Lablaco公司正与时装公司和品牌合作，在日益增长的“数字化”时尚市场上将他们的服装数字化。Lablaco由Lorenzo Albrighi和Eliana Kuo于2016年创立，两人都有奢侈品时尚背景。他们希望提高服装业的可持续性，并促进循环时尚——以减少浪费的方式设计和生产服装的做法)”可推知，Albrighi和 Eliana Kuo创立Lablaco的目的是将服装数字化，减少浪费。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“With Lablaco’s model, customers can buy both a physical fashion item and its digital “twin” designed to be collected or worn in virtual environments. The physical and digital items remain paired even after sale, so if a physical item is resold, the digital one is transferred to the new owner’s digital wallet. (通过Lablaco的模型，顾客既可以购买实体时装，也可以购买在虚拟环境中收集或穿着的数字“双胞胎”。即使在销售之后，实体商品和数字商品仍然配对，因此，如果实体商品被转售，数字商品将转移到新所有者的数字钱包中)”可知，Lablaco的实体时装与数字时装搭配出售。故选B。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The fashion industry creates roughly 92 million tons of waste annually, and it is believed that digital fashion could have a role in reducing that figure. Kuo said digital spaces could be used as a test bed for the physical world.For example, a designer could release an item of digital clothing in 10 colors in digital spaces, and use the sales data to inform which colors to use for the real-world version. This on-demand model can help reduce fashion waste. Trying on virtual clothes could also reduce the amount of clothes that are returned in the physical world. Additionally,staging fashion shows in virtual spaces reduces the need for the fashion world to travel, thereby reducing its carbon footprint.(时尚产业每年产生大约9200万吨垃圾，人们相信数字时尚可以在减少这一数字方面发挥作用。郭说，数字空间可以作为现实世界的试验台。例如，设计师可以在数字空间中发布10种颜色的数字服装，并使用销售数据来告知在现实世界中使用哪种颜色。这种按需模式有助于减少时尚浪费。试穿虚拟服装还可以减少在现实世界中退货的衣服数量。此外，在虚拟空间举办时装秀减少了时尚界的旅行需求，从而减少了碳足迹)”可知，第三段主要讨论数字时尚可以在几个方面帮助减少时尚浪费。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“With the phygital model, they can receive royalties (版税) when an item is sold and resold throughout its lifetime — a way to “produce less and actually earn more”.(在实体模式下，当一件商品在其整个生命周期内销售和转售时，他们可以获得版税——一种“生产更少，实际赚更多”的方式)”可推知，与Lablaco的合作将是有利可图的。故选C。
C
Summer is always a busy travel season, but even at peak times like July, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll see lots of hotels with No Vacancy (空房) signs. More and more travelers are choosing instead to stay in vacation rentals: decorated private houses, rooms, or apartments that only you and your party share for the period of your stay. Or you can get adventurous and book a cabin, a tree house, a houseboat, or even a castle.
The idea appeared in 2007, when Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia, the owners of a hotel, realizing that a San Francisco tech meeting would make hotel rooms in the area harder to come by, let travelers sleep on air mattresses (充气床垫) in their apartment for a fee. They called it Air Bed and Breakfast, and the company—now known as Airbnb—is worth almost $100 billion today and has six million listings worldwide.
More space is a major attraction of this accommodation (住宿): the average hotel room measures just 330 square feet, while the average vacation rental room tops 1,300. And in 20 of the largest U. S. cities, average daily rates are comparable to (or slightly lower than) those of hotels.
If you’re willing to share your own digs while you’re away, Love Home Swap pairs you with like-minded travelers for stays in each other’s homes for a membership fee as low as $ 11 per month. If you’d like to list your home, check your local zoning laws, as some areas have strict rules on short-term rentals. In parts of Honolulu, a new law taking effect in October will up the minimum stay to 90 days.
28. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Vacation rentals have replaced hotels nowadays.
B. Travelers have more options of where to live now.
C. Hotels have no empty rooms during travel seasons.
D. Instead of staying in rentals, travelers choose private rooms.
29. What inspired Chesky and Gebbia to start vacation rentals
A. The presence of the Airbnb. B. The requirement of travelers.
C. The shortage of hotel rooms. D. The popularity of air mattresses.
30. If you want to use Love Home Swap, you should ______.
A. become its member first. B. rent your house for free.
C. list your house for at least 90 days. D. find partners with the similar ideas.
31. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To list the various rentals for travelers.
B. To urge hotels to take on more vacation rentals.
C. To compare two different ways to spend vacation.
D. To introduce a new trend on vacation accommodation.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】

Have you ever lost something in a hard-to-reach space, like behind a couch or a cupboard Wouldn’t it be nice to just be able to squeeze (挤) in and out New innovations in the field of robotics will soon be able to make this nice idea into a reality.
In a study published on Jan 25 in the science journal Matter, engineers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Carnegie Mellon University in the US have developed small robots that can quickly change back and forth from liquid to solid states.
According to the website Mashable, the scientists were inspired by sea cucumbers (海参). They are able to change the stiffness (僵硬度) of their body or reduce the potential for physical damage. The robots in the study were made from gallium, a soft metal with a low melting point of 30℃. The scientists then used changes in the magnetic field to control the magnetic particles (粒子) inside the gallium material to provide heat. This heat then allowed the robots to change between solid and liquid states as well as to move around.
As the website Tech Xplore pointed out, other similar materials require external heat sources such as heat guns and electrical currents to induce (触发) a change of states; but now, the robots can use a heat source inside itself to change states independently.
During the robots’ experimental trials, the scientists conducted a number of tests. These tests included having the robots melt into liquid and re-form to escape a prison-like cage. The robot is also able to build and repair hard-to-reach circuits (电路). The robots’ ability to switch between states of matter allows for a number of possible uses and advancements in different fields, such as he biomedical and circuit assembly (组装) industries.
Still, in the words of senior author Carmel Majidi at Carnegie Mellon University, for now these are all just “proofs of concept” which show the abilities of these new kinds of robots.
32. What can we learn about the small robots
A. Chinese and British scientists co-produced them.
B. Sea cucumbers provided inspiration for them.
C. They were made from a newly invented material.
D. They can switch between three states of matter.
33. How did scientists change the state of the robots
A. By using heat guns. B. By employing a heat source.
C. By using electrical currents. D. By controlling the magnetic particles.
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The features of the robots. B. The limitations of the robots.
C. The applications of the robots. D. The challenges of testing the robots.
35. What can be inferred about the robots from Majidi’s words
A. They have great market potential.
B. Their abilities are overstated.
C. More proof is needed for their abilities.
D. It will take more time for them to be widely used.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. D

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The scientists then used changes in the magnetic field to control the magnetic particles (粒子) inside the gallium material to provide heat.(然后，科学家们利用磁场的变化来控制镓材料内部的磁性粒子来提供热量。)”可知，科学家是通过控制磁性粒子改变机器人的状态的。故选D。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“During the robots’ experimental trials, the scientists conducted a number of tests. These tests included having the robots melt into liquid and re-form to escape a prison-like cage. The robot is also able to build and repair hard-to-reach circuits (电路). The robots’ ability to switch between states of matter allows for a number of possible uses and advancements in different fields, such as he biomedical and circuit assembly (组装) industries.(在机器人的实验试验中，科学家们进行了一系列测试。这些测试包括让机器人融化成液体，然后重新成型，以逃离监狱般的笼子。该机器人还能够构建和修复难以触及的电路。机器人在物质状态之间切换的能力允许在不同领域的许多可能的用途和进步，例如生物医学和电路组装行业。)”可知，第五段主要讲述了这种机器人的应用。故选C。
【35题详解】

Experts often tell students to center their efforts on a narrow field to get a job after school. ____36____
One of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal, who is 68 years old and works at the University of Copenhagen. When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”
____37____ They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful. But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case. The researchers looked into past Nobel Prize winners and their students. ____38____ some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning how to be creative.
Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists. The researchers also found that the Nobel winners have an open mind about their life experiences. Unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up their outside interests, ____39____
The researchers say that, even among people who do not win big prizes, those with many interests are often successful. They pointed to a 2022 report about students who study two major fields in college. ____40____ Double majors are often more creative and more interested in starting their own businesses than those who centered on only one study area.
A. That study plan is called a “double major”.
B. What we believe is of great benefits to them.
C. Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students.
D. They discovered that if they helped each other afterwards,
E. Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity.
F. They found that when the students of winners went on to win Nobel Prizes,
G. But recent research into Nobel Prize winners suggests that wider interests are important.
【答案】36. G 37. C 38. F 39. E 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项针对诺贝尔奖获得者的研究发现，这些获奖者通常有多个领域的知识，广博的知识使他们在工作中能用不同的角度和方法思考问题。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Experts often tell students to center their efforts on a narrow field to get a job after school.(专家们经常告诉学生们，毕业后要把精力集中在一个狭窄的领域找工作)”及下文“When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”(在描述自己的职业生涯时，梅尔达尔说，他最初是一名工程师，但后来改行做化学，因为他“想了解这个世界”)”可知，专家们经常告诉学生们要把精力集中在一个狭窄的领域找工作，但是一些诺贝尔获奖者却做过不同的工作。由此可知，G. But recent research into Nobel Prize winners suggests that wider interests are important.(但最近对诺贝尔奖得主的研究表明，更广泛的兴趣很重要)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选G。
【37题详解】
根据上文“When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”(在描述自己的职业生涯时，梅尔达尔说，他最初是一名工程师，但后来改行做化学，因为他“想了解这个世界”)”可知，上文讲述了梅尔达尔的经历。下文“They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful.(他们可能认为他们必须把他们的工作和学校生活集中在一个领域才能成功)”说明梅尔达尔的经历和他们认为的成功经验是不一样的。由此可知，C. Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students.(梅尔达尔的经历可能会让学生们感到惊讶)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文“The researchers looked into past Nobel Prize winners and their students.(研究人员调查了过去的诺贝尔奖得主和他们的学生)”及下文“some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests.(他们从老师那里学到的一些东西是如何过一种有多种兴趣的生活)”可知，此处在讲述过去的诺贝尔奖得主对他们的学生的影响。由此可知，F. They found that when the students of winners went on to win Nobel Prizes,(他们发现，当获奖者的学生后来获得诺贝尔奖时)能够承上启下，符合语境。其中students是关键词。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists. The researchers also found that the Nobel winners have an open mind about their life experiences. Unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up their outside interests,(诺贝尔奖得主在与木材、金属或艺术打交道方面的经验是大多数科学家的九倍。研究人员还发现，诺贝尔奖获得者对自己的生活经历持开放态度。不像许多人花很长时间在工作上，放弃他们的业余爱好)”可知，诺贝尔奖获得者兴趣广泛，而且不会放弃他们的业余爱好。由此可知，E. Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity.(诺贝尔奖得主认为他们的爱好对创造力很重要)能够衔接上文，符合语境。其中hobbies对应上文中的outside interests。故选E。
【40题详解】
根据上文“They pointed to a 2022 report about students who study two major fields in college.(他们指出，2022年的一份报告是关于在大学里学习两个专业的学生的)”及下文“Double majors are often more creative and more interested in starting their own businesses than those who centered on only one study area.(双学位的学生往往比那些只专注于一个研究领域的学生更有创造力，对创业更感兴趣)”可知，此处在讲述双学位的问题。由此可知，A. That study plan is called a “double major”.(那个学习计划叫做“双学位”)能够承上启下，符合语境。其中double major是关键词。故选A。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During the 25 years we’ve lived in our home, many cats have appeared on my porch (门廊), gazing through the glass door, silently begging for food. Well, what can I do Certainly not ignore their lovely faces. Even as my husband says “Don’t feed these cats, Caren,” I am opening the door, with cat food bag in hand. These cats usually stay a few days, maybe a couple months before disappearing into the woods.
One evening while feeding the horses, I saw something move. I turned just in time to glimpse a black tail disappearing under our shed (小棚). Later, I saw a skinny young cat sneak around and finish the leftovers. The next time I saw her, she had a companion, a black male cat. I made sure to put out enough food for the both of them.
Pretty soon, they were appearing at dinnertime with our other cats. I named them Minnie and Freddy. I would give them food in separate containers, but they would walk up and down until I went back inside. Then, with no human near, they would devour their meals. This went on for a couple of weeks. One day, Freddy didn’t show up. We never saw him again.
But Minnie kept sticking around our room, dividing time between the shed and the porch. She was no longer skinny and looked quite nicely. I congratulated myself on her newfound health. However, she kept gaining weight —especially around her middle. Yup, she was pregnant (怀孕的).
注意：续写词数应为90词左右。
We fixed up a small place in the shed for Minnie.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, our family grew not only with Minnie but also with her adorable babies, creating a harmonious and loving environment for all of us to cherish(珍惜).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
We fixed up a small place in the shed for Minnie. It was cozy and warm, just for her. Minnie was so happy with the new arrangement. She spent most of her time there, taking care of her soon-to-be-born babies. Finally, five kittens were born, which was healthy and adorable.
From that day on, our family grew not only with Minnie but also with her adorable babies, creating a harmonious and loving environment for all of us to cherish(珍惜).

We created a harmonious and loving environment for all of us to cherish and enjoy. Minnie and her babies brought so much happiness into our lives.

Italian company Lablaco is working with fashion houses and brands to digitize their clothes in the growing “phygital” fashion market. Lablaco was founded in 2016 by Lorenzo Albrighi and Eliana Kuo, who both had backgrounds in luxury fashion. They were looking to improve the industry’s sustainability and promote circular fashion — the practice of designing and producing clothes in a way that reduces waste.
Pushing fashion into digital spaces helps generate data that is vital in efforts to move toward circular fashion. With Lablaco’s model, customers can buy both a physical fashion item and its digital “twin” designed to be collected or worn in virtual environments. The physical and digital items remain paired even after sale, so if a physical item is resold, the digital one is transferred to the new owner’s digital wallet. The item’s creator can follow its after-sales journey. Without digitizing the product, as Albrighi emphasizes, there wouldn’t be any data to analyze and understand the fashion’s impact.
The fashion industry creates roughly 92 million tons of waste annually and it is believed that digital fashion could have a role in reducing that figure. Kuo said digital spaces could be used as a test bed for the physical world.For example, a designer could release an item of digital clothing in 10 colors in digital spaces, and use the sales data to inform which colors to use for the real-world version. This on-demand model can help reduce fashion waste. Trying on virtual clothes could also reduce the amount of clothes that are returned in the physical world. Additionally,staging fashion shows in virtual spaces reduces the need for the fashion world to travel, thereby reducing its carbon footprint.
But for this innovation to become widespread, Albrighi says motivating brands is the key. With the phygital model, they can receive royalties (版税) when an item is sold and resold throughout its lifetime — a way to “produce less and actually earn more”.
24. What’s Albrighi and Eliana Kuo’s purpose of founding Lablaco
A. To digitize clothes and waste less.
B. To put the fashion design into practice.
C. To dominate the “phygital” fashion market.
D. To promote luxury fashion and earn more.
25. What do we know about Lablaco’s model
A. The physical and digital fashion items can be both resold.
B. The physical fashion items are paired with digital ones for sale.
C. Its product creator can check the after sales information any time.
D. Its owner would understand its impact by analyzing the data.
26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Digital spaces could be used as a test bed in the fashion industry.
B. Trying on virtual clothes could decrease the waste of fashion market.
C. Staging fashion shows in virtual spaces reduces the fashion waste.

Summer is always a busy travel season, but even at peak times like July, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll see lots of hotels with No Vacancy (空房) signs. More and more travelers are choosing instead to stay in vacation rentals: decorated private houses, rooms, or apartments that only you and your party share for the period of your stay. Or you can get adventurous and book a cabin, a tree house, a houseboat, or even a castle.
The idea appeared in 2007, when Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia, the owners of a hotel, realizing that a San Francisco tech meeting would make hotel rooms in the area harder to come by, let travelers sleep on air mattresses (充气床垫) in their apartment for a fee. They called it Air Bed and Breakfast, and the company—now known as Airbnb—is worth almost $100 billion today and has six million listings worldwide.
More space is a major attraction of this accommodation (住宿): the average hotel room measures just 330 square feet, while the average vacation rental room tops 1,300. And in 20 of the largest U. S. cities, average daily rates are comparable to (or slightly lower than) those of hotels.
If you’re willing to share your own digs while you’re away, Love Home Swap pairs you with like-minded travelers for stays in each other’s homes for a membership fee as low as $ 11 per month. If you’d like to list your home, check your local zoning laws, as some areas have strict rules on short-term rentals. In parts of Honolulu, a new law taking effect in October will up the minimum stay to 90 days.
28. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Vacation rentals have replaced hotels nowadays.
B. Travelers have more options of where to live now.
C. Hotels have no empty rooms during travel seasons.
D. Instead of staying in rentals, travelers choose private rooms.
29. What inspired Chesky and Gebbia to start vacation rentals
A. The presence of the Airbnb. B. The requirement of travelers.
C. The shortage of hotel rooms. D. The popularity of air mattresses.
30. If you want to use Love Home Swap, you should ______.
A. become its member first. B. rent your house for free.
C. list your house for at least 90 days. D. find partners with the similar ideas.
31. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To list the various rentals for travelers.
B. To urge hotels to take on more vacation rentals.
C. To compare two different ways to spend vacation.
D. To introduce a new trend on vacation accommodation.
D
Have you ever lost something in a hard-to-reach space, like behind a couch or a cupboard Wouldn’t it be nice to just be able to squeeze (挤) in and out New innovations in the field of robotics will soon be able to make this nice idea into a reality.
In a study published on Jan 25 in the science journal Matter, engineers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Carnegie Mellon University in the US have developed small robots that can quickly change back and forth from liquid to solid states.
According to the website Mashable, the scientists were inspired by sea cucumbers (海参). They are able to change the stiffness (僵硬度) of their body or reduce the potential for physical damage. The robots in the study were made from gallium, a soft metal with a low melting point of 30℃. The scientists then used changes in the magnetic field to control the magnetic particles (粒子) inside the gallium material to provide heat. This heat then allowed the robots to change between solid and liquid states as well as to move around.
As the website Tech Xplore pointed out, other similar materials require external heat sources such as heat guns and electrical currents to induce (触发) a change of states; but now, the robots can use a heat source inside itself to change states independently.
During the robots’ experimental trials, the scientists conducted a number of tests. These tests included having the robots melt into liquid and re-form to escape a prison-like cage. The robot is also able to build and repair hard-to-reach circuits (电路). The robots’ ability to switch between states of matter allows for a number of possible uses and advancements in different fields, such as he biomedical and circuit assembly (组装) industries.
Still, in the words of senior author Carmel Majidi at Carnegie Mellon University, for now these are all just “proofs of concept” which show the abilities of these new kinds of robots.
32. What can we learn about the small robots
A. Chinese and British scientists co-produced them.
B. Sea cucumbers provided inspiration for them.
C. They were made from a newly invented material.
D. They can switch between three states of matter.
33. How did scientists change the state of the robots
A. By using heat guns. B. By employing a heat source.
C. By using electrical currents. D. By controlling the magnetic particles.
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The features of the robots. B. The limitations of the robots.
C. The applications of the robots. D. The challenges of testing the robots.
35. What can be inferred about the robots from Majidi’s words
A. They have great market potential.
B. Their abilities are overstated.
C. More proof is needed for their abilities.
D. It will take more time for them to be widely used.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During the 25 years we’ve lived in our home, many cats have appeared on my porch (门廊), gazing through the glass door, silently begging for food. Well, what can I do Certainly not ignore their lovely faces. Even as my husband says “Don’t feed these cats, Caren,” I am opening the door, with cat food bag in hand. These cats usually stay a few days, maybe a couple months before disappearing into the woods.
One evening while feeding the horses, I saw something move. I turned just in time to glimpse a black tail disappearing under our shed (小棚). Later, I saw a skinny young cat sneak around and finish the leftovers. The next time I saw her, she had a companion, a black male cat. I made sure to put out enough food for the both of them.
Pretty soon, they were appearing at dinnertime with our other cats. I named them Minnie and Freddy. I would give them food in separate containers, but they would walk up and down until I went back inside. Then, with no human near, they would devour their meals. This went on for a couple of weeks. One day, Freddy didn’t show up. We never saw him again.
But Minnie kept sticking around our room, dividing time between the shed and the porch. She was no longer skinny and looked quite nicely. I congratulated myself on her newfound health. However, she kept gaining weight —especially around her middle. Yup, she was pregnant (怀孕的).
注意：续写词数应为90词左右。
We fixed up a small place in the shed for Minnie.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, our family grew not only with Minnie but also with her adorable babies, creating a harmonious and loving environment for all of us to cherish(珍惜).
