Wireless Lawnmowers (割草机)
There are four types of wireless lawnmowers — push, self-moving, riding and robot. The two most popular and affordable are push and self-moving. In general, they’re very similar in function and operation to electric wired and gas mowers. You’ll find that they’re much quieter, run cleaner and require less maintenance than gas mowers. And you don’t have to deal with the bothersome power wire. Many wireless models have brushless motors, which makes them more efficient and generate less heat than brushed motors. This helps sustain battery runtime and transfers more power to the mower. The amount of runtime will depend on the battery power.
Self-moving mowers are a good choice for mediumsize to large lawns and those with sloped (倾斜的) areas. However, they can reduce battery runtime by up to half. Mowers with oversize wheels tend to be easier to operate and will roll more smoothly over rough area.
Similar to other types of mowers, they can have a collection bag at the back, shoot the cut grass out the side of the mower, or chop up the grass before discharging it into a bag or onto the lawn. A mower’s deck size varies typically from 13 “ to 25”. Most mowers have two to four blades (刀片) and all feature an adjustable cutting height that usually ranges from 1“ to 4”. Most mowers have folding handles that can be adjusted to suit your height and fold up for storage.
Battery: 18V 4.0 Ah to 82V 8.0Ah
Cutting width: 13“ to 25”
Weight:30 to 100+ Ibs
Price range: $200 to $1,500
21 What are the advantages of the wireless lawnmowers
A. Quiet and easy to maintain. B. Small and convenient to operate.
C. Clean and energy-efficient. D. Affordable and good-looking.
22. What will happen when the self-moving mowers are used in sloped areas
A. The runtime will be increased. B. The battery will run out sooner.
C. The operation will become tougher. D. The performance will be better.
23. What may you do before putting away the mowers
A. Fold them up. B. Take them apart.
C. Adjust their height. D. Fully charge them.
B
Growing up in rural Hungary, Krisztina Christmon Ph.D., always imagined taking over her grandparents’ farm one day. But by the time she graduated from university, the farm had been sold, because her grandfather suffered a major accident while burning plastic agricultural waste.
Years later, Christmon realized she could honor her grandfather’s memory and support the farming community in a different way: by ensuring farmers never have to burn plastics in the first place.
In 2021, she co-founded a startup called Repurpose Farm Plastic that aims to collect and clean farmers’ unwanted plastics. Once treated, these commonly used items can be recycled into other useful products.
Christmon’s team participated in Innovation Corps (I-Corps), an entrepreneurial training program, where Christmon’s mentors (导师) encouraged her to turn her idea into a startup. “I thought business wasn’t for me — I’m a scientist!” she said. “But when we conducted interviews with farmers, everyone was so eager to talk to us. Every farmer told us they would pay the same for a trash removal service or more for recycling pickup. I thought, ‘OK, if no one else is working on this, I guess it’s going to be me.’”
Christmon launched Repurpose Farm Plastic with help from I-Corps, and built the plastic cleaning equipment, which is currently ready for mass production. Their machine — a little larger than a dining table — does not rely on water. It uses a drying technology to remove 99% of the dirt from agricultural plastics. Once cleaned, these plastics can be handed off to companies that ultimately transform them into furniture, decking and similar items. Christmon says this not only reduces wastefulness but also serves a greater environmental good.
Christmon and Rickles hope to start collecting plastic from farms and launch the business soon. Building a startup has been a major time commitment, but she doesn’t mind as long as she’s helping people and the environment in the process.
24. What originally motivated Christmon to work on plastic recycling
A. Her farming experience. B. Her university education.
C. Her grandfather’s sufferings. D. Her mentors’ encouragement.
25. What can we infer about Christmon from paragraph 4
A. She got much support from farmers.
B. She once doubted her professional competence.
C. She was forced to found the startup originally.
D. She met great misunderstanding in her business.
26 What does Christmon’s machine mainly do
A. Dry the dirt. B. Purify the water.
C. Clean the plastics. D. Produce dining tables.
27. Which of the following can best describe Christmon
A. Curious and faithful. B. Creative and devoted.
C. Ambitious and patient. D. Kind and generous.
C
When we’re stressed, the brain sends a signal to the adrenal medulla (肾上腺髓质). That signal causes many unpleasant symptoms. Until recently, most scientists believe that muscles have nothing to do with stress because they don’t influence how the brain and the adrenal medulla communicate. In fact, Strick, a leading neuroscientist at the University of Pittsburgh, says he has long been suspicious of claims that exercises building muscles like yoga can decrease stress. “I need to see that there’s a connection; that there’s a real biological basis,” he says.
In 2016, Strick decided to study the connection between muscles and stress by using a method he pioneered. Strick invented a process where he could put a virus into an organ to track the neural network s that connect the brain and the muscles. “So we injected (注入) the adrenal medulla with a virus, and we tracked it back into the brain and then mapped which areas influenced the adrenal,” he says. “And that’s where the surprise came.” Essentially, Strick discovered that our stress response is controlled by more than just the ‘thinking’ part of the brain. Other parts of the brain, including those controlling our muscles, are also sending signals to the adrenal medulla. And the area of the brain that communicates with the adrenal receives signals from the core muscles as well. So, strengthening those muscles, Strick says, can adjust our stress.
When we’re tapping away at a computer in a chair all day, many of us feel more mentally stressed. Strick recommends strengthening the core muscles so that sitting upright all day becomes more natural. “Slump, and then sit up straight,” he says “And see what the difference they make to your mood.”
Strick also says this discovery was a wake-up call for his own health. He credits his children, who persuaded him to try yoga years ago. “And I once said, come on, give me a break. I don’t have time,” he says. “But as it turns out, they’re right.”
28. What can we learn about Strick’s study
A. He referred to other researchers’ methods.
B. He observed the influence a virus has on the adrenal.
C. He got the result similar to that of previous studies.
D. He found the part of the brain managing muscles can affect stress.
29. What does the underlined word “slump” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. Sink into a chair. B. Stand up all of a sudden.
C. Stare at something carefully. D. Do intense physical exercise.
30. What does Strick think of yoga at the end of the passage
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why We Are So Easily Stressed B. Benefits of Doing Sports Like Yoga
C. Ways of Strengthening Our Muscles D. Our Muscles Can Affect Our Mood
D
Are your keys not in the spot you thought you left them Can’t recall the title of a book I’ve had those moments. Such instances of “brain freeze” remind us that we should do everything in our power to keep our brains sharp.
A new study finds Tai Chi study can help slow cognitive (认知的) decline and protect against dementia (痴呆). The study included about 300 older adults, in their mid-70s on average, who had all reported that their memory was not as good as it used to be.
As part of the study, all the participants took a 10-mirrute test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. A normal score is 26-30. A person who scores between 18 and 25 is considered to have mild impairment (损害), which means they don’t have dementia but they’re not as sharp as they used to be and may need to work harder to maintain everyday activities. Once their score drops under 18, people experience quite a bit of impairment from memory loss and cognitive decline.
The average score of participant s at the start of the study was 25. The study found that people who practiced a simplified form of Tai Chi twice a week for about six months improved their score by 1.5 points, meaning that they’re going to get three extra years before they hit that decline into dementia.
Researchers also tested a more stricter type of Tai Chi, called Cognitively Enhanced Tai Chi, where they provided extra challenges. For example, participants were asked to spell a word, backward and forward, as they moved through a series of Tai Chi moves. The people who practice this type of cognitively enhanced Tai Chi improved their scores by about 3 points, meaning they are given six extra years of cognitive function.
The theory on why Tai Chi is effective is that it combines the memorization of the movements, known as forms, almost like composing dancing moves.
32. Why are two questions raised in the first paragraph
A. To present the author’s doubts. B. To expect answers from readers.
C. To analyze the causes of forgetfulness. D. To introduce the main topic of the text.
33. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Cognitive assessment methods. B. The process of running the test.
C. Cognitive measurement criteria. D. The test results of the participants.
34. What does the pre-best average score of the participants imply
A. Most of them suffer from, dementia. B. They remain as quick-minded as before.
C. Many of them have slight cognitive decline. D. They can protect themselves against dementia.
35. Why does Tai Chi have a positive impact
A. It helps resolve challenges. B. It involves mind-body movements.
C. It puts off cognitive decline by three years. D. It improves the participants academic level.

A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach. I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job, and now our financial situation was depressing. Finally, I had put the home on the market. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬), Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in discouragement, I sat typing up my application letters. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived. I ran to the door but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. Perhaps, someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed I would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
Thinking of these, I couldn’t help sighing and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In panic, I opened the door and ran outside.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital.

【答案】参考范文1：
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool. Breathless and astonished, I watched Brigitte mustering her courage to swim towards my son, who was struggling desperately in the icy water. Almost meanwhile, I sprang into action. With every powerful stroke, I got close to where Forrest was floating. Fortunately, he was about to sink when I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to the shallow end of the pool, with Brigitte paddling alongside, concern obvious in her big and intelligent eyes. The moment I got my boy out, our beloved dog bounced around him, constantly licking his pale face as if to warm him. Voice trembling, I called 911 and soon we were rushed to the nearest hospital. Every second counted!
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital. At this, I heaved a sigh of relief. On arriving home, our dog Brigitte leaped high up to give us warm and wet kisses, wagging her tail cheerfully. Looking directly into her eyes with gratitude and a bit of guilt, I scooped her up and held her close to my chest, unwilling to let her go for a single minute. It was then that I suddenly became aware that life sometimes can be cruel and miserable, but there was always someone or something guiding you, protecting you, and accompanying you with unconditional love and loyalty. Our dog was just our guardian angel, shattering my despair about losing our home and guiding us out of trouble. How could I leave her
参考范文2：
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool. Then to my horror, I caught sight of Forrest’s yellow sleeper. Brigitte was bravely doing her best to keep him afloat by holding on to his sleeper with her mouth. At the same time, she was desperately trying to swim to the shallow end. Only then did I realize that Forrest had somehow opened the door, wandered out and fallen into the pool. In a split second, I dove in, lifted my precious baby out and carried him inside. Hands shaking, I called 911 and we were rushed to the hospital immediately, where the doctor kept him for observation for one night.
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital. Back home, once Brigitte saw him, she barked with apparent joy and wouldn’t let Forrest out of her sight. In time she settled down, but remained dedicated to Forrest and followed him everywhere, concerned about his safety. Even when Forrest was asleep, Brigitte crammed herself under the crib, keeping a vigil. Our dog was indeed an angel, erasing any despair I might have had about losing our home. A house could always be replaced, but knowing we had each other around was the greatest blessing of all. I was grateful she was part of our lives, who I would never give up.
