(2023上·江苏南京·高三南京外国语学校校考期中) Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone cannot make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a state of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what make us tired
Some scientists declared that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes. One of England’s most all standing scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says,“ The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, A famous American scientist goes even further. He declares,“ One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in a good health is due to emotional problems”.
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired Joy Satisfaction No. A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
24. What surprised the scientists a few years ago
A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.
B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.
C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.
D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.
25. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired
A. Unpleasant emotions. B. Challenging mental work.
C. Endless tasks. D. Physical labor.
26. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ______.
A. have some good food B. discover fatigue toxins
C. exercise regularly D. enjoy their work
27. What is the best title for this passage
A. How long can our brain work B. Why is our brain tired from work
C. Can we work like Albert Einstein D. When should we take a break in work
24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们通过研究发现脑力劳动并不能使人劳累，使人感到劳累的是人的精神和情感状态，即厌烦、生气、焦急、紧张、忧虑以及不被欣赏等消极的情绪，这些情绪能在体内产生紧张感，使自己感觉到身体疲倦。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! (令这些科学家惊讶的是，他们发现当大脑活跃时，血液流经大脑时根本没有疲劳的迹象!)”可知，科学家们惊讶的是脑力劳动数小时后大脑不会感到疲惫。故选C。
25. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Some scientists declared that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes. (一些科学家宣称，我们的大部分疲劳来自于我们的精神和情感态度)”和“He declares,“ One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in a good health is due to emotional problems”. (他宣称:“一个身体健康的坐着的工人的疲劳百分之百是由于情绪问题。”)”可知，坐着的工人感觉到疲惫的原因是情绪问题。故选A。
26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body. (努力工作本身很少引起疲劳。我们感到疲倦是因为我们的情绪在体内产生了紧张)”可知，由于情绪紧张，我们会感觉到疲惫，由此推知，如果不紧张，即享受工作，则会精力旺盛。故选D。
27. 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! (令这些科学家惊讶的是，他们发现当大脑活跃时，血液流经大脑时根本没有疲劳的迹象!)”可知，科学家们通过研究发现脑力劳动并不能使人劳累，根据最后一段“What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired Joy Satisfaction No. A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body. (什么样的情绪会让坐着的员工感到疲劳？快乐吗？满意吗？不。无聊、愤怒、焦虑、紧张、担心、不被赏识的感觉——这些都是让坐着的员工感到疲惫的情绪。努力工作本身很少引起疲劳。我们感到疲倦是因为我们的情绪在体内产生了紧张)”可知，是人的精神和情感状态在人体内产生紧张感，使自己感觉到身体疲倦，所以整篇文章都在讲述让人工作疲惫的原因。B选项“Why is our brain tired from work (为什么我们的大脑工作疲惫)”是最佳标题。故选B。
C
(2023·浙江杭州·浙江省杭州第二中学校考模拟预测) Today’s Brussels sprouts (孢子甘蓝) taste better than you might remember from childhood, and that is because a new variety has replaced the original vegetable. You can thank plant breeders for the change. Modem breeders, armed with new gene-editing technology, are looking to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention.
In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields (产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish.
But other vegetables haven’t fared as well. That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits (特性) that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored.
People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology. “There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.
Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables. One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts. But this time researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens.
All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the recommended allowances (定量) of fruits and vegetables — and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance have. “Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better,” said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.”
28. Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds
A. To study why Brussels sprouts are bitter. B. To research the specific chemicals.
C. To select high-yielding products. D. To find the less bitter versions.
29. What does the underlined word “fared” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Survived. B. Emerged. C. Mushroomed. D. Succeeded.
30. What can we learn from Susan Brown’s words in paragraph 4
A. The breeding techniques are booming.
B. The breeding techniques need no improvement.
C. The breeders are struggling to develop new species.
D. The breeders should develop new genetic technology.
31. How can fruits and vegetables be consumed more according to Harry Klee
A. By enhancing the taste. B. By improving the nutrients.
C. By making them more accessible. D. By telling people the benefits.
28. D 29. D 30. A 31. A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了现代植物育种者利用新的基因编辑技术，重新改良了甘蓝的品种，使其味道更好。
28. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields (产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals.(在20世纪90年代末，科学家们发现了使孢子甘蓝尝起来苦的特殊化学物质。植物育种者开始种植以前因产量低而废弃的旧种子，以寻找含有较低这些特定化学物质的更美味的种子)”可知，植物育种家种植老球芽甘蓝种子寻找不那么苦的孢子甘蓝。故选D项。
29. 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits (特性) that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters.(这是因为大多数育种决定都倾向于对蔬菜种植者重要的植物特性，而不是对吃蔬菜的人)”可知，此处提到了其他蔬菜不太好即不太“成功”的原因，所以划线词是“成功”的意思。故选D项。
30. 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques, ” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.(“现在是水果育种或蔬菜育种的最佳时机，因为我们有更多的工具和技术，”康奈尔大学的苹果育种专家苏珊 布朗表示)”可推知，育种技术正在蓬勃发展。故选A项。
31. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better, ”said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.”(“不要浪费时间谈论如何教育人们吃得更好，”专门研究番茄育种的教授哈里·克利说。“只要给他们提供味道更好、他们想吃的产品就行了。”)”可知，根据Harry Klee的说法，让人们多吃水果和蔬菜的最好方法是提高蔬菜和水果的味道。故选A项。

(2023上·上海·高三上海市育才中学校考期中) In a robotics lab on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, New York, three small robots have a problem to solve.
They are told that two of them have been given a “dumbing pill” that stops them talking. In reality the push of a button has silenced them, but none of them knows which one is still able to speak. That’s what they have to work out.
Unable to solve the problem, the robots all attempt to say “I don’t know”. But only one of them makes any noise. Hearing its own robotic voice, it understands that it cannot have been silenced. “Sorry, I know now! I was able to prove that I was not given a dumbing pill,” it says. It then writes a formal mathematical proof and saves it to its memory to prove it has understood.
This is the first time a robot has passed a classic test called the wise-man puzzle. It sounds like a simple test and it is, only skirting the foothills of consciousness, But showing that robots can work out the logical puzzles requiring an element of self-awareness is an important step towards building machines that understand their place in the world.
Selmer Bringsjord of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, who ran the test, says that by passing many tests of this kind --- however narrow --- robots will build up a repertoire (计算机指令表) of abilities that start to become useful. Instead of thinking over whether machines can ever be conscious like humans, he aims to demonstrate specific, limited examples of consciousness.
“They try to find some interesting philosophical problem, and then engineer a robot that can solve that problem,” says John Sullins, a philosopher of technology at Sonoma State University. “They’re barking up the right tree.”
The robots must be able tolsten to and understand the question “which pill did you receive ”, as asked by a human. They must then hear their own voice saying “I don’t know” and understand that it was they that said it, connecting that with the idea that they did not receive a silencing pill.
Bringsjord’s robots may appear conscious in this specific case, assessing their own state and coming to a conclusion. But the broader, deeper intelligence that humans have is completely missing. The robots can pass the wise-man test but wouldn’t have a hope of recognizing their own feet. Bringsjord says one reason robots can’t have broader consciousness is that they just can’t deal with enough data. Even though cameras can capture more data about a scene than the human eye, robots are at a loss as to how to put all that information together to build a whole picture of the world.
32. What problem do the three robots have to solve
A. What has silenced them. B. Which of them can still talk.
C. Why the dumbing pill fails. D. What proof they need.
33. What does John Sullins mean by “They’re barking up the right tree.” (in Paragraph 6)
A. The three robots are sure to be able to think like humans in the future.
B. The three robots originated from some intelligent animals.
C. The scientists are inspired by the philosophy of technology.
D. The scientists have targeted an achievable goal.
34. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Human beings are capable of linking together what they see.
B. Questions are of particular importance in the wise-man test.
C. More data is needed for scientists to know robots well.
D. Robots can easily learn to reason like humans.
35. The passage is intended to ________.
A. highlight a new way to study robots B. introduce a ground-breaking experiment
C. illustrate a well-established scientific principle D. explain a problem that has puzzled scientists for long
32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在纽约哈德逊河东岸的一个机器人实验室里，三个小型机器人需要解决一个问题。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In reality the push of a button has silenced them, but none of them knows which one is still able to speak. That’s what they have to work out.”（在现实中，按下一个按钮，他们就沉默了，但谁也不知道谁还能说话。这是他们必须解决的问题。）可知，这三个机器人要解决的问题是他们中谁能说话。故选B项。
33. 词句猜测题。根据第六段中““They try to find some interesting philosophical problem, and then engineer a robot that can solve that problem,” says John Sullins, a philosopher of technology at Sonoma State University.”（“他们试图找到一些有趣的哲学问题，然后设计一个可以解决这个问题的机器人，”索诺玛州立大学的技术哲学家约翰·苏林斯说。）由此可推知，划线句子They're barking up the right tree.指的是“科学家们确定了一个可以实现的目标”。故选D项。
34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But the broader, deeper intelligence that humans have is completely missing. The robots can pass the wise-man test but wouldn’t have a hope of recognizing their own feet. Bringsjord says one reason robots can’t have broader consciousness is that they just can't deal with enough data. Even though cameras can capture more data about a scene than the human eye, robots are at a loss as to how to put all that information together to build a whole picture of the world.”（但人类拥有的更广泛、更深层次的智慧却完全消失了。这些机器人可以通过“智者”测试，但不可能识别出自己的脚。Bringsjord说，机器人无法拥有更广泛的意识的一个原因是它们无法处理足够的数据。尽管摄像头可以捕捉到比人眼更多的场景数据，但机器人对于如何将所有这些信息整合在一起来构建一个完整的世界图景仍然感到困惑。）可推知，人类有能力将他们所看到的联系起来。故选A项。
35. 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“In a robotics lab on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, New York, three small robots have a problem to solve.”（在纽约哈德逊河东岸的一个机器人实验室里，三个小型机器人需要解决一个问题。）可推知，这篇文章旨在介绍一个开创性的实验。故选B项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
(2023上·安徽·高三池州市第一中学校联考阶段练习) We’re all suffering from poorer concentration nowadays. It’s believed that one of the best ways to keep your brain focused is to eat a healthy diet. 36 Such foods include fish, nuts, blueberries and dark chocolate. Still, there are other ways to improve your focus and get stuff done.
●Create a peaceful air. 37 Work in a different room if you can. If you find yourself attracted by digital devices, turn them off or put them aside. Learn to check them at a fixed time later.
● 38 Whether it’s music, white noise or even silence, you might find there’s a particular sound that helps you maintain your attention. This enhances alpha waves — brain waves that promote relaxation and are thought to play a role in cognition (认知) and, according to a recent study, make you more creative.
●Sleep well. A good night’s sleep will sharpen your brain the next day. 39 Everyone needs different amounts of shut-eye but aiming for seven to nine hours is considered the ideal.
●Move your body. Moderate exercise can ease the brain tiredness, allowing you to focus on the really important stuff. When you exercise, your heart rate increases, urging your body to release a protein known as BDNF (脑源性神经营养因), which aids nerve cell growth. 40
A. Find the right sound.
B. Prepare the ideal music.
C. Who doesn’t suffer from brain fog after a bad night
D. What is needed to enhance your concentration quality
E. You may get a boost from certain so-called “brain foods”.
F. This is important for concentration, memory and learning.
G. Removing yourself from people and devices will allow you to concentrate better.
第二节 七选五 36. E 37. G 38. A 39. C 40. F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些让大脑更加专注的方法。
36. 根据上文“It’s believed that one of the best ways to keep your brain focused is to eat a healthy diet. (人们认为，保持大脑专注的最好方法之一是吃健康的饮食。)”以及后文“Such foods include fish, nuts, blueberries and dark chocolate. (这些食物包括鱼、坚果、蓝莓和黑巧克力。)”可知，本句主要说明某些食物可以促进大脑专注。故E选项“你可能会从某些所谓的‘健脑食品’中得到促进。”符合语境，故选E。
37. 根据后文“Work in a different room if you can. If you find yourself attracted by digital devices, turn them off or put them aside. Learn to check them at a fixed time later. (如果可以的话，在不同的房间工作。如果你发现自己被电子设备所吸引，关掉它们或把它们放在一边。学会在固定的时间检查它们。)”可知，本段的主旨是远离让自己分心的事物，且G选项中devices对应后文digital devices。故G选项“远离人群和电子设备会让你更好地集中注意力。”符合语境，故选G。
38. 根据本段内容“Whether it’s music, white noise or even silence, you might find there’s a particular sound that helps you maintain your attention. This enhances alpha waves — brain waves that promote relaxation and are thought to play a role in cognition (认知) and, according to a recent study, make you more creative. (无论是音乐、白噪音，甚至是安静，你可能会发现有一种特别的声音能帮助你保持注意力。这增强了α波——一种促进放松的脑电波，被认为在认知中发挥作用，根据最近的一项研究，它使你更有创造力。)”可知，本段的主旨是特别的声音可以帮助保持专注力，A选项中sound对应后文a particular sound。故A选项“找到合适的声音。”符合语境，故选A。
39. 根据上文“A good night’s sleep will sharpen your brain the next day. (晚上睡个好觉会让你的大脑在第二天变得敏锐。)”可知，上文提到了好的睡眠可以让大脑第二天变得敏锐，反过来不睡觉可能会导致大脑注意力无法集中。故C选项“谁不会在一夜不眠后患上脑雾？”符合语境，故选C。
40. 根据上文“When you exercise, your heart rate increases, urging your body to release a protein known as BDNF (脑源性神经营养因), which aids nerve cell growth. (当你运动时，你的心率会加快，促使你的身体释放一种名为BDNF的蛋白质，这种蛋白质有助于神经细胞的生长。)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文说明运动产生的这种蛋白质的好处：对注意力、记忆力和学习都很重要。故F选项“这对注意力、记忆力和学习都很重要。”符合语境，故选F。

I have found that the more time I spend alone, the more comfortable I become because I can truly get to know myself.
This provides me with more patience to accept myself as I am, wherever I am in my 41 . This lesson was something I 42 after spending a summer alone in Italy.
I set out on the journey, 43 my phone for the first time. I would be jetting all over America then 44 in a country with a family. It wasn’t until two years after I returned that I had spent more time living in the moment while experiencing the greatest 45 of my life. I was not comfortable enough to be present in the magical moments in a foreign country. My mind stayed 46 as I wondered what people were thinking of me, and what I would post online to my friends back home.
At 19 years old, it seemed much more important to 47 photos to upload to social media. The Internet was a/an 48 for me not to feel so alone. As brave as I was to be 49 alone in my adventure, I had a thousand people to “connect” with on my 50 nights!
Two years later I 51 that I could have filled my days with activities for growth. If I wanted to be happy, it would be my own doing. Happiness is an 52 process and comes without validation from others.
This is a 53 to be relearned each day. Spending small moments alone allows one to really 54 . There are all kinds of things we can do to enjoy our time. I enjoy my shower, my yoga practice, and the scenic drive home. This helps me to really 55 my practice. I find it helpful to journal, with a pen and paper after this little escape.

Traditionally, Roujiamo mainly consists of two parts--the flatbread and the filling. The meat preparation used to make the filling for roujiamo dates back 59 the Warring States period. The introduction into China of Central Asian-style flatbreads, like the kind used in roujiamo, in general, 60 (owe) to Ban Chao, a Chinese general who spent over 30 years battling 61 union of nomadic (游牧的) tribes to regain control of the farthest western reaches of China. The flatbread bun, called baijimo, takes its name from 62 is today known as Beiji township. There exist differences between the flatbreads used for different districts in Shaanxi. For example, the flatbread used for Tongguan roujiamo is unlike 63 used in the Xi’an style. Tongguan roujiamo, 64 (name) after a town that, in days long past, guarded a strategic pass roughly 120km east of Xi’an.

56. 考查名词。句意：尽管它被比作汉堡包，但它承载着更多的地理和历史意义。分析句子，设空处使用compare的名词comparison作宾语，意为“比较，相提并论”。故填comparison。
57. 考查副词。句意：肉夹馍与陕西省中北部城市西安有着密切的联系。分析句子，设空处使用close的副词closely作状语，修饰动词，意为“密切地”。故填closely。
58. 考查名词。句意：自公元前202年以来，西安既是丝绸之路的东端，也是中国13个或多或少连续的朝代的首都。分析句子，设空处使用名词作宾语，dynasty意为“朝代”为可数名词，此处表示复数意义。故填dynasties。

64. 考查动词。句意：铜关肉夹馍得名于一个小镇，在很久以前，它守卫着西安以东约120公里处的一个战略关口。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，根据that引导的定语从句中的guarded表示动作发生在过去，故使用一般过去时。同时Tongguan roujiamo与name之间是被动关系，故使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was named。
65. 考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管味道鲜美，但在路上吃也是有风险的。句中it is+形容词+to do为固定结构，it为形式主语，不定式结构为真正的主语。故填to eat。

第二节（满分 25分）
(2023上·山东·高三山东省实验中学校考阶段练习) 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。
When I was in college, I experienced a very challenging time. Not only was I dealing with the difficulties of academic life, but I was also struggling with financial hardship. I was so poor that I often found myself without food. There were days when I would wake up with just a few coins in my pocket, and those coins were usually just enough to buy four loaves of bread. After that, I would have no idea where my next meal would come from.
I was desperate to find a way to make money and decided to try my luck applying for a part-time job. I spent hours reading the newspaper, searching for job advertisements, but in vain.
Despite all these difficulties, I didn’t want to give up hope. I knew that if I kept pushing and refused to quit, I would eventually find a solution to my problems. So I stuck to looking for more opportunities to earn a living. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t land a single interview. The more I tried to get a job, the more depressed and hopeless I felt.
One day, while making phone calls to apply for yet another job, I noticed someone else waiting behind me for the pay phone. He seemed kind of impatient, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Ignoring him, I continued to try calling several times but I couldn’t get through somehow.
After a while, he cleared his throat and said coldly, “Other people have to use the phone, too, you know.” It was a simple statement, but it was enough to push me over the edge. I turned to this stranger and shouted, “See this bag on the floor That has all my food in it! I don’t have a phone at home to call from! I’m sorry if your cell phone is broken, but whatever call you have to make is less important than my trying to come up with tomorrow’s meal!”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I turned back and tried to hold back my tears. ___________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Putting a five-dollar bill in my hand, he left. ____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
第二节
I turned back and tried to hold back my tears. But I was so sad that I broke down, failing to make it. I began sobbing uncontrollably. Then the soft sobs became replaced by loud cries. I felt hopeless about my future. “Why did everyone have a job expect me ” I can’t help thinking. Looking at me crying, the man was shocked. He was no longer impatient. He walked in and said, “I’m so sorry for my words. Everything will be OK. Don’t give up, and you’ll get a job soon.”
Putting a five-dollar bill in my hand, he left. This time, it’s my turn to be shocked. I had never thought somebody would express sympathy for me and encourage me to keep trying. Maybe things were not as bad as I imagined; maybe everything would be fine again if I just tried a little more. My sorrow disappeared. And I feel positive for my future again. After all, I still have five dollars!
【导语】本文以人物为线索。作者在上大学的时候，经历了一段非常具有挑战性的时期。作者没钱买饭，所以想要找一份兼职。但无论作者如何努力，他仍然找不到工作。一天在电话亭打电话的时候，作者尝试了好几次都打不通电话，电话亭外的一个男人非常不耐烦地催促作者。作者情绪失控了，而那位男子看到这一幕，为自己的话感到抱歉，于是他安慰了作者，并给了作者5美元。作者看到还有人会关心自己，于是对未来又重新充满信心。
【解析】1. 续写线索：
由续写第一段首句“我转过身来，强忍着泪水。”和第二段首句“他把一张五美元的钞票放在我手里，就走了。”可知，第一段可以描写作者情绪崩溃，感慨自己的不幸，而这位男子安慰并鼓励了作者。
由续写第二段首句“他把一张五美元的钞票放在我手里，就走了。”可知，第二段可以描写作者发现竟然还有陌生人关心自己，又重新对未来充满信心。
2. 段落续写：强忍泪水——失控痛哭——男子转变态度——男子鼓励作者——男子给作者钱——作者惊讶于有人会关心自己——作者心态转变——作者重新对未来充满信心
3. 词汇激活：
行为类
①崩溃：break down/collapse/fall apart
②代替：replace/take the place of/ substitute for
③对……表示同情：express sympathy for/give sb. sympathy/sympathize with
情绪类
①悲伤的：sad/ mournful/ sorrowful
②震惊的：shocked/surprised/ stunned
③乐观的：positive/optimistic
【点睛】
【高分句型1】But I was so sad that I broke down, failing to make it.(使用了so…that…引导结果状语从句、现在分词作状语、不定式作宾语)
【高分句型2】I had never thought somebody would express sympathy for me and encourage me to keep trying. (使用了省略that的宾语从句、不定式作宾补和动名词作宾语)

Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone cannot make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a state of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what make us tired
Some scientists declared that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes. One of England’s most all standing scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says,“ The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, A famous American scientist goes even further. He declares,“ One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in a good health is due to emotional problems”.
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired Joy Satisfaction No. A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.

Today’s Brussels sprouts (孢子甘蓝) taste better than you might remember from childhood, and that is because a new variety has replaced the original vegetable. You can thank plant breeders for the change. Modem breeders, armed with new gene-editing technology, are looking to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention.
In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields (产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish.
But other vegetables haven’t fared as well. That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits (特性) that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored.
People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology. “There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.
Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables. One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts. But this time researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens.
All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the recommended allowances (定量) of fruits and vegetables — and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance have. “Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better,” said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.”
28. Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds
A. To study why Brussels sprouts are bitter. B. To research the specific chemicals.
C. To select high-yielding products. D. To find the less bitter versions.
29. What does the underlined word “fared” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Survived. B. Emerged. C. Mushroomed. D. Succeeded.
30. What can we learn from Susan Brown’s words in paragraph 4
A. The breeding techniques are booming.
B. The breeding techniques need no improvement.
C. The breeders are struggling to develop new species.
D. The breeders should develop new genetic technology.
31. How can fruits and vegetables be consumed more according to Harry Klee
A. By enhancing the taste. B. By improving the nutrients.
C. By making them more accessible. D. By telling people the benefits.
D
In a robotics lab on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, New York, three small robots have a problem to solve.
They are told that two of them have been given a “dumbing pill” that stops them talking. In reality the push of a button has silenced them, but none of them knows which one is still able to speak. That’s what they have to work out.
Unable to solve the problem, the robots all attempt to say “I don’t know”. But only one of them makes any noise. Hearing its own robotic voice, it understands that it cannot have been silenced. “Sorry, I know now! I was able to prove that I was not given a dumbing pill,” it says. It then writes a formal mathematical proof and saves it to its memory to prove it has understood.
This is the first time a robot has passed a classic test called the wise-man puzzle. It sounds like a simple test and it is, only skirting the foothills of consciousness, But showing that robots can work out the logical puzzles requiring an element of self-awareness is an important step towards building machines that understand their place in the world.
Selmer Bringsjord of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, who ran the test, says that by passing many tests of this kind --- however narrow --- robots will build up a repertoire (计算机指令表) of abilities that start to become useful. Instead of thinking over whether machines can ever be conscious like humans, he aims to demonstrate specific, limited examples of consciousness.
“They try to find some interesting philosophical problem, and then engineer a robot that can solve that problem,” says John Sullins, a philosopher of technology at Sonoma State University. “They’re barking up the right tree.”
The robots must be able tolsten to and understand the question “which pill did you receive ”, as asked by a human. They must then hear their own voice saying “I don’t know” and understand that it was they that said it, connecting that with the idea that they did not receive a silencing pill.
Bringsjord’s robots may appear conscious in this specific case, assessing their own state and coming to a conclusion. But the broader, deeper intelligence that humans have is completely missing. The robots can pass the wise-man test but wouldn’t have a hope of recognizing their own feet. Bringsjord says one reason robots can’t have broader consciousness is that they just can’t deal with enough data. Even though cameras can capture more data about a scene than the human eye, robots are at a loss as to how to put all that information together to build a whole picture of the world.
32. What problem do the three robots have to solve
A. What has silenced them. B. Which of them can still talk.
C. Why the dumbing pill fails. D. What proof they need.
33. What does John Sullins mean by “They’re barking up the right tree.” (in Paragraph 6)
A. The three robots are sure to be able to think like humans in the future.
B. The three robots originated from some intelligent animals.
C. The scientists are inspired by the philosophy of technology.
D. The scientists have targeted an achievable goal.
34. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Human beings are capable of linking together what they see.
B. Questions are of particular importance in the wise-man test.
C. More data is needed for scientists to know robots well.
D. Robots can easily learn to reason like humans.
35. The passage is intended to ________.
A. highlight a new way to study robots B. introduce a ground-breaking experiment
C. illustrate a well-established scientific principle D. explain a problem that has puzzled scientists for long

We’re all suffering from poorer concentration nowadays. It’s believed that one of the best ways to keep your brain focused is to eat a healthy diet. 36 Such foods include fish, nuts, blueberries and dark chocolate. Still, there are other ways to improve your focus and get stuff done.
●Create a peaceful air. 37 Work in a different room if you can. If you find yourself attracted by digital devices, turn them off or put them aside. Learn to check them at a fixed time later.
● 38 Whether it’s music, white noise or even silence, you might find there’s a particular sound that helps you maintain your attention. This enhances alpha waves — brain waves that promote relaxation and are thought to play a role in cognition (认知) and, according to a recent study, make you more creative.
●Sleep well. A good night’s sleep will sharpen your brain the next day. 39 Everyone needs different amounts of shut-eye but aiming for seven to nine hours is considered the ideal.
●Move your body. Moderate exercise can ease the brain tiredness, allowing you to focus on the really important stuff. When you exercise, your heart rate increases, urging your body to release a protein known as BDNF (脑源性神经营养因), which aids nerve cell growth. 40
A. Find the right sound.
B. Prepare the ideal music.
C. Who doesn’t suffer from brain fog after a bad night
D. What is needed to enhance your concentration quality
E. You may get a boost from certain so-called “brain foods”.
F. This is important for concentration, memory and learning.
G. Removing yourself from people and devices will allow you to concentrate better.

Roujiamo, also called rougamo, is one of the most popular Chinese snacks. Despite its 56 (compare) to a hamburger, it carries far more geographical and historical meaning.
Roujiamo is 57 (close) associated with the north-central city of Xi’an, in Shaanxi province. Since 202 BCE, Xi’an has been both the eastern terminal of the Silk Road and the capital for 13 more-or-less successive Chinese 58 (dynasty).
Traditionally, Roujiamo mainly consists of two parts--the flatbread and the filling. The meat preparation used to make the filling for roujiamo dates back 59 the Warring States period. The introduction into China of Central Asian-style flatbreads, like the kind used in roujiamo, in general, 60 (owe) to Ban Chao, a Chinese general who spent over 30 years battling 61 union of nomadic (游牧的) tribes to regain control of the farthest western reaches of China. The flatbread bun, called baijimo, takes its name from 62 is today known as Beiji township. There exist differences between the flatbreads used for different districts in Shaanxi. For example, the flatbread used for Tongguan roujiamo is unlike 63 used in the Xi’an style. Tongguan roujiamo, 64 (name) after a town that, in days long past, guarded a strategic pass roughly 120km east of Xi’an.
Despite its tasty flavor, it’s risky 65 (eat) on the go. Proper roujiamo is filled to bursting, regardless of the potential consequences for one’s clothes and dry-cleaning budget.

When I was in college, I experienced a very challenging time. Not only was I dealing with the difficulties of academic life, but I was also struggling with financial hardship. I was so poor that I often found myself without food. There were days when I would wake up with just a few coins in my pocket, and those coins were usually just enough to buy four loaves of bread. After that, I would have no idea where my next meal would come from.
I was desperate to find a way to make money and decided to try my luck applying for a part-time job. I spent hours reading the newspaper, searching for job advertisements, but in vain.
Despite all these difficulties, I didn’t want to give up hope. I knew that if I kept pushing and refused to quit, I would eventually find a solution to my problems. So I stuck to looking for more opportunities to earn a living. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t land a single interview. The more I tried to get a job, the more depressed and hopeless I felt.
One day, while making phone calls to apply for yet another job, I noticed someone else waiting behind me for the pay phone. He seemed kind of impatient, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Ignoring him, I continued to try calling several times but I couldn’t get through somehow.
After a while, he cleared his throat and said coldly, “Other people have to use the phone, too, you know.” It was a simple statement, but it was enough to push me over the edge. I turned to this stranger and shouted, “See this bag on the floor That has all my food in it! I don’t have a phone at home to call from! I’m sorry if your cell phone is broken, but whatever call you have to make is less important than my trying to come up with tomorrow’s meal!”
