Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday — the first writer from her country to receive the award.
Han, 53, was born in 1970 in Gwangju, South Korea. Her father was also a novelist, but much less successful. The family struggled financially and moved frequently. In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her poor childhood “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.”
When Han was 9, her family moved to Seoul just months before the Gwangju uprising（起义）, when government troops fired on crowds of protesters, killing hundreds. The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview.
Han studied literature at Yonsei University in Korea, and her first published works were poems. Her debut novel（首部小说）, “Black Deer,” which came out in 1998, was a mystery about a missing woman. In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.”
Following her debut, Han went on to write seven more novels, as well as collections of essays and short stories. Among her other novels are “The White Book,” which was also nominated for the International Booker Prize, and “Greek Lessons,” published in English in2023.
Han’s writing is now celebrated in South Korea, but that took some time, she said, and some of her books were initially greeted with bafflement. “The Vegetarian” was received as “very extreme and unusual,” Han said.
24．What can be inferred from the fact that Han Kang said her poor childhood “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books”
A．Books helped her endure the hardship of her childhood.
B．She had no other entertainment except reading books.
C．Reading books made her different from other children.
D．She started writing books during her childhood.
25．What does the underlined word “bafflement” in the last paragraph most probably mean
A．Strong support. B．Great confusion.
C．High praise. D．Wide acceptance.
26．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce Han Kang’s family background.
B．To analyze the themes of Han Kang’s works.
C．To present the life and career of Han Kang.
D．To compare Han Kang with other Korean writers.
27．Where is the passage probably taken from
A．Biography. B．News. C．Brochure. D．Fiction.
C
Dogs have aided humans for thousands of years. Man’s best friend has provided protection, companionship and hunting assistance since the days of the earliest human settlements. But how and when dogs evolved from wolves is a matter of debate. Naturalist Mark Derr says there are two main schools of thought: Some researchers believe that humans domesticated wolves who were moving around their villages for trash. Others think that humans were taking care of wolves from the time they were puppies — until enough puppies were tamed（驯化） and they somehow then evolved into dogs.
“Neither explanation seems satisfactory,” writes Derr in How the Dog Became the Dog — From Wolves to Our Best Friends. “That is why there’s no consensus.”
In his book, Derr explores how the relationship between humans and wolves developed, and how that relationship then influenced the physical evolution of wolves into dogs. He tells Fresh Air’s Dave Davies that he believes humans and wolves developed a close relationship after recognizing themselves in each other while hunting on the trail of big game.
“That’s when they started traveling together, and they’ve been at it ever since,” he says. “The dog is a creation of wolves and humans — of two equal beings that came together at a certain point in history and have been together ever since.”
Derr says our ancestors likely followed behind wolves as they hunted for game on the trail. Wolves, in turn, learned to wait for leftovers from hunters — who were far more accurate with their weapons than the wolves were with their teeth.
“The wolf could say, ‘These people are far more profligate（铺张浪费的） hunters than we are. When they go out, they always leave a surplus. It’s easier for us to take the leftovers that they have than to hunt,’” says Derr. “Hunting is a highly energetic activity. And they could learn from each other, just by observing each other.”
As humans and wolves began to work and live together, physical features on the wolf began to change: Its skeletal（骨骼的） frame grew smaller, and its jaw shortened. Wolves that socialized well with humans began to travel with them, and then were able to pass on their genes.
28．What is Mark Derr’s attitude towards the two main explanations about how dogs evolved from wolves
A．Approving. B．Indifferent. C．Skeptical. D．Neutral.
29．According to Mark Derr, why did wolves start associating with humans
A．Humans provided them with a safe environment.
B．Humans were more successful hunters and left leftovers.
C．Wolves were attracted to human villages for trash.
D．Humans cared for wolf puppies from a young age.
30．What can be inferred from the statement “The dog is a creation of wolves and humans” in paragraph 4
A．Dogs were intentionally bred（繁殖，饲养） by humans.
B．The evolution of dogs was a result of human and wolf interaction.
C．Dogs were created by wolves for their own benefit.
D．Humans and wolves have always been equal partners.
31．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage
A．The Domestication Debate: Wolves to Dogs.
B．The Role of Dogs in Ancient Societies.
C．The Mutual Benefits of Human-Wolf Partnerships.
D．The Evolutionary Journey: From Wolf to Dog.
D
As robotic research develops, there is growing interest in using robots in socially assistive applications like senior care facilities, health centers, and classrooms. For mobile robots to fit into these environments, they must be good at navigating in spaces with people. Besides moving safely around humans, robots in these shared places also need to have proper social skills and act in a socially acceptable way.
Especially in senior care facilities where people lack enough social stimulation, robots that can make a social connection with those around them through non-verbal（非言语的） clues can improve the well-being of the people they interact with. Also, for humans to feel at ease near a robot, it’s important that the robot acts in a predictable way and is seen as safe and trustworthy.
Humans usually navigate cooperatively among others. A moving robot should also be able to develop a mutual understanding with nearby humans when moving among them. This way, both the robot and the human can correctly understand each other’s actions and make predictable movements.
It’s known that humans use head and/ or eye gaze （the direction they seem to be looking） in social situations to show their intention and mental states. A large amount of research on interpersonal communication shows that more than half of the meaning in social situations is communicated non-verbally. So, it’s very important to add non-verbal hints like eye gaze to existing navigation algorithms（算法） to improve the robot’s social aspects.
To make human-robot collaboration and teaming effective, humans must see the robot as a socially capable agent. In Human-Robot Interaction （HRI） literature, this is called the social presence of the robot, which means “the sense of being together with another”.
Aiming to make social robots work more harmoniously and effectively around people, this paper studies how different robot gaze behaviors in different navigation situations affect the robot’s perceived social presence by doing user studies in real-world and simulated environments.
32．Why is it important for mobile robots in socially assistive applications to have social skills
A．To make them more intelligent.
B．To enable them to fit into human-populated environments better.
C．To increase their speed of movement.
D．To reduce the cost of production.
33．What can we learn from the research on interpersonal communication
A．Verbal communication is more important than non-verbal communication.
B．Head and eye gaze play a minor role in social situations.
C．Non-verbal clues are crucial in social communication.
D．Only half of the meaning in social situations needs to be communicated.
34．What is the social presence of the robot according to the text
A．The ability of the robot to move freely. B．The sense of the robot being with humans.
C．The robot’s physical appearance. D．The robot’s ability to solve problems.
35．Which of the following is most likely to be the next part of the article
A．Detail the specific procedures and methods of the user studies in real-world and simulated environments.
B．List application cases of other types of social robots in different situations.
C．Illustrate new social robot design concepts that are not related to the research mentioned in the text.
D．Analyze the social requirements and coping strategies of robots in industrial production environments.

Museums are centers filled with information designed to enlighten and educate the curious mind. Especially for children, museums introduce them to unknown worlds, inspire their imagination and provide them with valuable learning experiences. 36 But in fact, they provide knowledge regarding all walks of life.
Museums offer children more connections and references to history than a traditional class. 37 Parents themselves don’t have to be history lovers. Just read out to them, encourage them to ask questions and hold their attention.
38 Individuals acquire values, knowledge, and skills that are not applicable to the only field but will aid them for a lifetime. A single visit to a museum near you will provide children with in-depth knowledge about different subjects that they can acquire slowly, for museums let you stay as long as you want.
Museums are well equipped to awaken curiosity in young minds, which in turn will lead to these children asking questions. Some of these questions may have immediate answers. 39 No matter what they ask, all of these questions must be equally encouraged and children must be given the confidence to find the answers to them on their own.
Museums have the ability to leave its visitors in awe of the huge amount of information it holds. They provide inspiration to young children via its resources that leave them fascinated by the night sky and the solar system, the skeletons that keep them thinking about life before them, the artworks that arouse the creative mind, etc. 40
A．All in all, museums encourage children to dream and wonder.
B．It’s generally believed that museums only help fuel academic education.
C．Museums are a collection of resources that promote information.
D．Museums are packed with exhibits that aid in developing critical thinking skills.
E．To connect with the innovation, it is important that they understand where it all began.
F．They play a huge role in impacting their historical knowledge and the innovation taking place before their eyes.
G．Some of them might need a great deal of thought to answer and some of them might not have any answers at all.

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。
Neesha, an 8-year-old golden retriever, is a lucky dog. After spending a fortnight on her own without food or real shelter, the tough dog was accidentally spotted by a couple, who in spite of the cold weather, were hiking the range and happened on her.
Two weeks earlier, Neesha’s owners had taken her and their other dog, a German shepherd named Harley, for some outdoor exercise. Terrified by a deer, both dogs took off. Harley found his way back to the parking lot the next day, but Neesha did not.
The family made a thorough search. They left a laundry basket of unwashed clothing near the spot where they’ d last seen Neesha on the off chance that she’d home in on the familiar smell marker. They even turned to the Internet for help in finding Neesha-but there was still no sign of her.
“We posted our experience on social media. Then a weekend later, we were still looking for her. We were starting to give up hope,” the pet’s owners Mary and her husband David told The Irish Times.
Eventually, the family began to accept that Neesha might not be coming home. “We just thought she is 8, and it’s been two weeks. There was no way she could survive.”
Doctors Ciara Nolan and Jean Francois Bonnet must be truly dedicated hikers. They braved the elements on the freezing day when the couple decided to reach one of Wicklow’s peaks. As they neared the top, Nolan was shocked to see a dog trembling in the snow.
“She was frightened, freezing cold. She didn’t have enough energy to bark or stand,” Bonnet said in an interview. “We tried to get her to walk, but she couldn’t stand. So we covered her with our spare clothes and gave her some food.”
注意
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Bonnet lifted Neesha onto his back for the long path down the mountain. _________________________________
