Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he smells.” After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look 3 the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many ignored him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother, I had determined to set a good 4 to my children. Yet sometimes when things didn’t go right, being a good example was 5 . When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car sick pills in the truck.

Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even acknowledging his 7 . Letting them in first, I said aloud “thank you” to him as I 8 .

What happened next drew great astonishment: I gave the “doorman” a 13 ！He pulled away, with tears rolling down his face.
Back in truck, I fell into deep thought. While we can't choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude. I said thanks to a man who had 14 opened a door for me, and also said thanks for that 15 to teach my children by example.

[8分]The world’s elderly population is increasing fast. The number of older people-those who are 60 years of age or older-is expected to double by 2050 across the world. This comes with an increasing need for caregivers that are able to provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes.
Robotic assistants (助手) are expected to become increasingly popular and reach 450, 000 by 2045 because the expected caregivers are not enough in the United States. “Unluckily, the hard outside structure of caregiving robots nowadays prevents them from communicating with humans safely and easily,” said Ramses Martinez, a professor in the School of Industrial Engineering. “After all, would you leave the old people with health problems in the hands of a robot ”
However, recent progress in material science has made it possible to produce robots with the ability to reshape when touched. They are called soft robots. However, the design (设计), production, and control of soft robots now stop this technology being put into use. Recently Martinez and other Purdue University researchers have developed a new design method that can make the design and production of the soft robots easy by using a 3D printer.
The soft robots can move like humans. “They can complete some movements easily such as holding things, spreading or drawing back arms and legs and kneeing down. This invention moves a big step forward toward the development of lightweight soft robots,” Martinez said. There searchers are now looking for partners to test their technology and put it into practice.
19．（2分）What will be the result of the increasing elderly population according to the text
A．More nursing services will be needed. B．More hospitals will be built in the future.
C．More people will choose to be nursed at home. D．More nursing work will be carried out by robots.
20．（2分）What does Ramses Martinez mean in Paragraph 2
A．People doubt the ability of robotic assistants.
B．More types of robotic assistants need to be developed.
C．The robotic assistants nowadays aren’t perfect for nursing.
D．The robotic assistants can’t understand the elderly correctly.
21．（2分）What makes the new type of robot be able to change shapes
A．A special material. B．The production method.
C．The 3D printing technology. D．A newly developed design method.
22．（2分）What’s the best title for the text
A．The development of robots is rapid. B．The 3D printer can create soft robots.
C．The increasing elderly population is a problem. D．Robots created with 3D printers will nurse the elderly.
[8分]When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different.
Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal.
My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and mentally healthy. A person can’t study without the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete.
And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to make use of all of life’s opportunities.
Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I set these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.
23．（2分）During Senior One, what does the writer want to do first
A．Focus on improving her overall grades.
B．Join as many school clubs as possible.
C．Learn how to manage her time well.
D．Spend more time on outdoor activities.
24．（2分）What is the attitude of the writer towards failure
A．Discouraged. B．Brave. C．Worried. D．Careful.
25．（2分）What does the underlined sentence “it’s the other way around” in the last paragraph mean
A．It is the opposite. B．It is difficult.
C．It is necessary. D．It is helpful.
26．（2分）What is the writer’s purpose of the passage
A．To share her goals for the coming school year.
B．To stress the importance of health to students.
C．To show what she likes about high school life.
D．To explain how to balance studies and activities.
[8分]What may well be the oldest metal coins in the world have been identified at an ancient abandoned city known as Guanzhuang in China. Like many Bronze Age (青铜时代) coins from the region, they were cast in the shape of spades (铲) with finely carved handles. These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter (以物易物) and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable.
Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house. We also talk about one computer using a “port” to send information to another computer, as if the data were a floating boat with destination. It’s as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization.
Now consider what happened to spade coins. Over centuries. metalworkers made these coins into more abstract shapes. Some became almost human figures. Others’ handles were reduced to small half-circles. As spade coins grew more abstract. people carved them with number values and the locations where they were made. They became more like modern coins, flat and covered in writing. Looking at one of these later pieces, you would have no idea that they were once intended to look like a spade.
This makes me wonder if we will develop an entirely new set of symbols that allow us to interact with our digital information more smoothly.
Taking spade coins as our guide, we can guess that far-future computer networks will no longer contain any recognizable references to houses. But they still might bring some of the ideas we associate with home to our mind. In fact, computer networks — if they still exist at all — are likely to be almost the indispensable part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset (嵌入) with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses. If climate change leads to floods, our mobile devices might look more like boats than phones, assisting us to land.
My point is that the metaphors (比喻) of the information age aren’t random. Mobile devices do offer us comfort after a long day at work. In some sense, our desire to settle on the shores of data lakes could change the way we understand home, as well as how we build computers. So as we cast our minds forward, we have to think about what new abstractions will go along with our information technology. Perhaps the one thing we count on is that humans will still appreciate the comforts of home.；
27．（2分）Why were many Bronze Age coins made into the shape of a spade
A．These coins also served as agricultural tools.
B．This stylish design made the coins valuable.
C．A lot of emphasis was put on agriculture.
D．The handles made the coins easily exchanged.；
28．（2分）Why does the author relate computers to spade coins
A．To show they both used to be new concepts when first invented.
B．To highlight their same importance in our civilizational transformation.
C．To suggest computers will experience dramatic changes as coins did.
D．To explain abstract digital worlds are different from concrete coins.；
29．（2分）What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Flexible. B．Wasteful. C．Essential. D．Alternative.；
30．（2分）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．How Agriculture Loses to Digital Industry
B．What Coins and Computers Bring Us
C．What Bronze Age and Information Age Have In Common
D．What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future Digital World
三、七选五阅读（本大题共1小题，共10分）
[10分]Hotels orbit Saturn’s pale orange moon, Titan. Cruise ships roam the docking stations like fish. Have you ever imagined making this future space travel in the fiction films a reality 31（2分）
Large companies and entire governments have teamed up to make space travel and exploration easier and quicker. Several countries are planning space missions between now and 2025. Some aim to build stations orbiting the moon. 32（2分） Eventually, they maybe build settlements there!
Yet no human has traveled beyond Earth’s orbit since 1972. Money is part of the problem. To put a pound of anything in space costs about $10,000. Consider that the old NASA space shuttles carried 2.2 million pounds (998,000kg) of fuel alone. Once in space, we face the problem of enormous space. Current technology and fuels can propel spacecraft at around 36,000 miles (58,000 km) per hour. 33（2分） Therefore, Human astronauts need some sort of new engine technology. Without it, they would not likely live long enough to complete journeys to other worlds.
34（2分） Some human astronauts live and work in the International Space Station(ISS). They’re in small spaces far from home. They suffer mentally and emotionally. Moods sour. Depression kicks in. Clear thinking muddies. Fear runs high.
Accessing fresh food is another issue. Today, astronauts eat lots of freeze-dried meals.
35（2分） We need those to be healthy. Of course, space doesn’t have grocery stores. Deep-space travelers may need to grow food on board. Unfortunately, good nutrition cannot fully protect an astronaut. All that time spent floating affects bones, muscles, and the blood. The body suffers damage from radiation streaming from stars and supernovas.
A．Others intend to land humans on Mars.
B．Freezing food reduces its vitamins and minerals.
C．Even if a trip fit within a lifetime, it wouldn’t be easy.
D．In some ways, we are on the edge of this imagined future.
E．Frozen food cannot provide them with enough good nutrition.
F．With that amazing speed, spacecrafts would carry astronauts to other worlds.
G．Even at that speed, it would take 78,000 years to reach the nearest star system.
四、语法填空（本大题共1小题，共20分）
[20分]阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Breaking habits is hard. This is largely because we are constantly exposed to stimuli(刺激物), 36（2分） take control of the reward-based learning system in our brains designed initially for 37（2分） (survive). Reward-based learning, to put it 38（2分） (simple), involves a trigger(诱因), followed by a behavior and a reward. These three components (trigger, behavior and reward) show up every time we do what we desire to do. And then we gradually have the habits.
So why can’t we just control ourselves and decide to replace bad habits with good ones 39（2分） the fact that researchers show that the brain networks associated with self-control are the first to go “offline” when 40（2分） (face) with triggers such as stress, the doctrine(学说) of self-control 41（2分） (know) for decades. When I was in medical school, I was taught to pass self-control speech on to my patients. “Need to lose weight Don’t eat junk food. Try to quit 42（2分） (smoke) Stop it and use a nicotine replacement.”
When I started actually practicing medicine, however, I quickly learned that it is impractical in real life. Self-control theories have missed something 43（2分） (critic): reward-based learning is based on rewards, not behaviors. How rewarding a behavior drives how likely we are 44（2分） (repeat) that behavior in the future, and this is why self-control as 45（2分） approach to breaking habits often fails.

There are many respectable people around us.Some deserve our respect just because they devote themselves to their ordinary positions, like my uncle, an angel in white.
My uncle is a surgeon in the local hospital.He often buries himself in his work and is busy with diagnoses and operations, which often take him so much time and energy that it is impossible for him to look after his family.Most movingly, facing fierce COVID 19, he volunteered to go to Wuhan in harm’s way without hesitation.Wearing thick protective suits, he headed for the wards, leaving a thin but tall figure behind.
Such is my respectable uncle—an ordinary doctor who not only devotes his youth to his beloved career, but risks his life to save more people’s lives.
