As a child. I never considered myself an athlete at all as I was very uncoordinated (不协调的). However, I did love to run because I felt as if I was flying, but this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee injury. I was bedridden for two weeks and I had a difficult time moving even short distances. I literally cried myself on my way to the car for a few days.
When therapy wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit.
Since each class was heated to 105 F, every time I set foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times, However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer.
After 3-4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better.
As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative-limiting terms.
Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life!
56. What once depressed the author terribly
A. Her failure to find her car. B. Her being uncoordinated.
C. Her inability to walk. D. Her serious physical disease.
57. What was the effect of yoga classes on the author’s mind
A. She got emotionally smarter. B. She became mentally stronger.
C. She felt limited but hopeful. D. She accepted herself as she was.
58. What difficulty did the author meet while attending each yoga class
A. The temperature was difficult to control in yoga class.
B. She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts.
C. She couldn’t bear the pain the knee injury brought.
D. Lack of confidence prevented the author doing yoga.
59. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4
A. Her physical state has acquired a new outlook.
C. She has developed many healthy eating habits.
D. Her social circle was widened in the yoga classes.
60. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To call on readers to sign up for yoga courses.
B. To present the benefits of practicing yoga regularly.
C. To show readers the necessary skills needed to do yoga.
D. To share with readers her experience in taking yoga classes.
C
The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a ominous warning. But in the real world, it is a prediction — and a welcome one. The field of robotics has made impressive progress in the past year, as researchers have applied advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to machines, which gives robots of all kinds a dramatic brain upgrade. The latest advances in robotics will bring real and substantial benefits.
One is that new “multimoda” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data from robotic sensors and actuators. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect give robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. And like a chatbot, a robot can be told to change its behaviour simply by changing a text prompt, something that would previously have required complex reprogramming.
Another benefit is that robots are getting better at learning quickly through imitation and at applying one skill to another. This opens the door for robots to move out of factories and storehouses. Several companies and research groups are using the latest AI models to build human-like robots, which could cook, clean, and care for the aged and the needy.
Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living. South Korea, Japan and China are all in the top five countries with the most robots for each factory worker. It is no coincidence that they are also ageing rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner.
61. What does the underlined word “ominous” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Global. B. Early. C. Obvious. D. Threatening.
62. What do new “multimodal” AI models enable robots to do
A. Perform complex reprogramming.
B. Have a conversation with humans.
C. Respond to everyday language.
D. Correct text instructions.
63. What does the author stress about robots in paragraph 3
A. They will play a key role in factories.
B. They will take on more human tasks.
C. They will require less human monitoring.
D. They will benefit the aged more than others.
64. Why are South Korea, Japan and China mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To show they have many robots.
B. To share their experience with robots.
C. To explain the role of robots in ageing societies.
D. To discuss why their populations are ageing.
65. What is the author’s attitude to advances in robotics
A. Concerned. B. Unclear. C. Favourable. D. Flexible.

第三节 读后续写（共1小题，满分25分）
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 six years old, I visited my grandfather's farm in Kansas and he sent me into the woods to gather pecans(山核桃) for us to enjoy later. The pecans were about the size of a man's thumb nail and just about the tastiest snack I'd ever had.
However, pecan picking was really tiring and my little bucket was only half full after working hard for a long time. I thought I wouldn't let Grandpa down. Just then something caught my eye. A large brown squirrel was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree, jumped up the trunk and disappeared in a large hole. A moment later the squirrel popped (突然出现) back out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree.
Not so secret anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I scooped(舀取) all of those pecans into my bucket. Now it was almost full ! I was so proud of myself that I couldn't wait to show them all to Grandpa.
I ran back and shouted,"Look at all the pecans!" Grandpa looked into the bucket and asked, "Well, well, how did you find so many " I told him how I'd followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place..
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the bucket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
"That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter supply of food," Grandpa said.____
Paragraph 2:
I picked up that little bucket full of pecans and carried it back to the tree.____

读后续写范文
Paragraph 1:
"That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter supply of food," Grandpa said. He told me the nuts were the squirrel’s only food for cold winter. I felt ashamed immediately for taking all its fruit of labour without thinking. I had only cared about finishing my own task but ignored the little creature’s survival.
Paragraph 2:
I picked up that little bucket full of pecans and carried it back to the tree. I put all the nuts back into the hole gently. After I finished, Grandpa smiled and told me I did the right thing. From this experience, I learned we should respect every creature’s hard work and never take others’ belongings.
