Unit 6　Survival
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Budha Magar,a double above-the-knee amputee(被截肢者),is working with an all-Nepali team to attempt to conquer the world’s highest mountain in May.Though he will be kitted out(装备) with special climbing legs,he will essentially be crawling up Qomolangma using his hands.
He estimates it will take him three times longer than able-bodied climbers to reach the summit(顶峰),though he is confident he will be faster than average on the ladder sections because of his superior upper body strength.Two climbers with below-knee amputations have reached Qomolangma’s summit before.But making the climb without knees is significantly harder.“In Nepali we say that being disabled is ‘like a burden of the earth’,” he explains.Magar hopes that he can raise awareness of just what is possible for a disabled person in the country of his birth,and hopefully inspire others further afield.
He was born in a village of Nepal,and he left there at the age of 19.In April 2021,he had an accident.Suddenly legless,he spent at least 18 months depressed before a charity offered him the chance to go skydiving.“That was a big turning point for me,especially for my confidence.And when we landed on the ground I realized that even without legs we are able to do lots of things,” he says.
He began doing sports—golf,rock climbing,table tennis—before setting his sights on mountaineering.Before long,a childhood dream to climb Qomolangma resurfaced,and he began training in Qomolangma to make the climb in 2018.
Now living in Canterbury,Budha Magar has raised more than ￡200,000 towards his attempt.If he can find another ￡100,000 of sponsorship,he will travel to Nepal in spring with his expedition leader Krishna Thapa.Success on the world’s highest mountain can never be guaranteed,but his expedition credo(信条) illustrates his mindset:no legs,no limits.
1.What may enable Magar to perform better than average on the ladder sections
A.His optimism.
B.Unique equipment.
C.His stronger upper body.
D.Help from an all-Nepali team.
2.What can we learn about Magar from paragraph 3
A.He lived in his birthplace all the time.
B.He recovered from the accident in 2021.
C.He was a member of a charity.
D.He gained confidence through skydiving.
3.What can we infer about Magar from the last paragraph
A.He hasn’t raised enough money for the summit attempt.
B.He needs a new expedition leader.
C.He can ensure the success of reaching the summit.
D.He will go to Canterbury in spring.
4.Which of the following best describes Magar
A.Caring and courageous.
B.Determined and adventurous.
C.Hard-working and cooperative.
D.Enthusiastic and intelligent.
B
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 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.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(镓),a soft metal with a low melting point of 30℃.The scientists then used changes in the magnetic field to control the magnetic particles 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 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.It can remove a foreign object from and deliver medicinal drugs to a model stomach.The robot is also able to build and repair hard-to-reach circuits.The robots’ ability to switch between states of matter allows for a number of possible uses and advancements in different fields,such as the 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 kind of robots.
5.Why can the robots switch between solid and liquid
A.Because they consist of a unique metal and magnetic particles.
B.Because they can reduce the potential for physical damage.
C.Because they are able to change the stiffness of their body.
D.Because they have external heat sources any time anywhere.
6.What does the underlined word “induce” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Witness.　　　　　　B.Remove.
C.Cause. D.Accept.
7.What will be the function of the robot
A.To help scientists inspire sea cucumbers.
B.To put a couch into a hard-to-reach space.
C.To get rid of foreign objects from an organ.
D.To assist people in escaping a prison-like cage.
8.Where is the text probably taken from
A.A health report.
B.A science fiction.
C.A chemistry textbook.
D.A scientific magazine.

Ⅲ.读后续写
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。
I lost all my hair at age two due to a disease.All I wanted growing up was to fit in.I would look at all the beautiful girls and think,“If I had hair,I would be beautiful,too.”
I wore a wig(假发) and was teased for it.They would call me “bald(秃头)” or say,“Lindsay has no hair.” They were right,so I just let them bully me.And I felt like I deserved it.
Sports became my escape,and I was fortunate to have athletic ability.I would race home every day and play basketball in my driveway for hours.I would pretend to make the game-winning shot.The crowd would go wild.I never thought about my bald head during these moments,but rather who I wanted to become and what I wanted to accomplish.
I started to gain recognition from others.I became known as a girl who was good at basketball,not just as the girl who didn’t have hair.I was still bullied,but it began to bother me less because I had another distraction.I put all my time and energy into basketball and becoming the best player I could be.
In my senior year of college,I wanted to run the marathon in my town to check this athletic endeavor off my wish list.I barely trained and thought it was just running.I was wrong in countless ways.
I had no idea at the time that this 26.2-mile run would change my life and attitude in more ways than I could have imagined.During that run,something clicked inside me.I felt strong,fierce,and truly like Superwoman.I had never felt this way before,not even during the other sporting games I had played in.I will never forget the feeling of crossing the finish line,all the emotions I felt,and the way everyone celebrated me.I fell in love with the sport and knew I wanted to become a runner.
I began running marathons all over the country.The more I ran,the stronger and more confident I felt.I slowly started to talk about my hair to close friends and even went out walking without my wig.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then one day,on a hot twenty-mile training run,I took off my wig mid-run.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Two weeks later,I ran my first marathon,bald.

Unit 6　Survival
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了双腿膝盖以上截肢的Budha Magar意志坚定,充满冒险精神,正在筹集资金尝试在5月份征服世界最高峰。
1.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“He estimates it will take him three times longer than able-bodied climbers to reach the summit,though he is confident he will be faster than average on the ladder sections because of his superior upper body strength.”可知,Magar有力的上肢使他在梯段的表现比普通人要好。故选C项。
2.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中Magar的话“That was a big turning point for me,especially for my confidence.And when we landed on the ground I realized that even without legs we are able to do lots of things”可知,通过跳伞Magar获得了自信。故选D项。
3.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now living in Canterbury,Budha Magar has raised more than ￡200,000 towards his attempt.If he can find another ￡100,000 of sponsorship,he will travel to Nepal in spring with his expedition leader Krishna Thapa.”可知,Magar已为登顶尝试筹集了20多万英镑,还差10万英镑才能顺利启动该尝试。由此可知,他还没有为登顶筹集到足够的资金。
4.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中“Budha Magar,a double above-the-knee amputee,is working with an all-Nepali team to attempt to conquer the world’s highest mountain in May.”可知,Magar身体残疾但是想要征服世界最高峰,可见是富有冒险精神的。根据最后一段中“Success on the world’s highest mountain can never be guaranteed,but his expedition credo illustrates his mindset:no legs,no limits.”可知,面对巨大的未知,Magar有着坚定的信念。由此可知,Magar意志坚定而富有冒险精神。故选B项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。来自香港中文大学和美国卡内基梅隆大学的工程师开发出了能够快速在液态和固态之间来回切换的小型机器人。
5.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The robots in the study were made from gallium,a soft metal with a low melting point of 30℃...move around.”可知,这种机器人能够在固态和液态之间变化是因为它们是由独特的金属和磁性粒子组成的。
6.C　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“This heat then allowed the robots to change between solid and liquid states as well as to move around.”,第四段画线词的上文“heat guns and electrical currents(热枪和电流)”和下文“change of states(物态变化)”可知,上文“热枪和电流”是导致下文“物态变化”发生的原因,可推理出画线词应为“引起;导致”之意。
7.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It can remove a foreign object from and deliver medicinal drugs to a model stomach.”可知,这种机器人在将来可能会具有的功能是清除器官中的异物。
8.D　推理判断题。这篇文章是一篇讲述最新科技发明的说明文,最有可能出现在科技杂志中。
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用自己和妻子筹备电影的亲身经历告诉人们:成功的对立面不是失败,而是缺乏勇气,有勇气的人会得到回报。

2.A　根据下文中的“the film”可知,这里是film的原词复现。故选A项。
3.C　根据下文中的“we wrote a 10-page outline of the story”可知,这里是story的原词复现,表示作者他们的个人故事。
4.D　根据句中的“we had never written a script before”可知,由于之前没有写剧本的经验,所以需要专业指导。故选D项。
5.B　根据句中的“made a pitch for the concept”可知,推销宣传这个故事概念是为了了解大众对这个故事有什么反响。
6.D　根据空后的“a quick market test”可知,这里是说组织了一次快速市场测试。
7.A　根据句中的“get the attention of producers”可知,能得到制片人注意的剧本是有潜力的剧本。
8.B　句意:大约一个月后,它才激起人们的兴趣。stimulate one’s interest意为“激起某人的兴趣”。故选B项。
9.C　根据空后的“production companies and producers until we 　　　cooperating with a producer”可知,在和一个制片人合作之前,作者他们找了很多制片公司和制片人。故选C项。
10.D　“until we 　　　cooperating with a producer with an all-star cast”中的until表明,在选了多家制片公司和制片人后,他们最后终于找到了一个可以合作的制片人。故选D项。
11.B　根据空后的“at a very high level of the industry”可知,这里是说人们对这个电影剧本的评价很高。故选B项。
12.A　这里照应第二段中的“We decided to write a film script first.(我们决定先写一个电影剧本)”,表示一旦下定决心做某个事情,就尽己所能。故选A项。

Ⅲ.　　Then one day,on a hot twenty-mile training run,I took off my wig mid-run. Seeing me running without my wig,the people around me was a little shocked.Some even whispered and wondered why I did it.They thought I would not dare to take off my wig and hid my bald head in my whole life.But when they realized that I had had enough confidence to face my true self,they all felt relieved and happy for me.They showed their support to me and thought highly of my braveness.
Two weeks later,I ran my first marathon,bald. All my friends and classmates went to cheer me up.Though there was a little difference between me and other competitors,who were also confused why I was bold,I didn’t think that we had any difference.I just spared no effort to run and adjust my breath.With confidence,I crossed the finish line first.All the audience cheered loudly for me.My parents were proud of me as well.
