B
My parents have a big cat at home named Comet. He has big ears, a large head, huge feet, and a gentle personality — but we have no way of knowing for sure. He came from the local animal shelter. My brother and I didn’t really want him, since he was a kitten and we wanted to adopt an adult cat because we thought the kittens would be more likely to find another home, but my little sister insisted.
We brought Comet home that day. He soon fell ill and grew alarmingly weak — his ribs stuck out, his eyes swelled, and his fur dulled. He became so fragile that I feared touching him, though he clearly needed care.
Some years later, I went home one afternoon after having had an emotional breakdown. My whole life was upside down. I felt hollow, dead, an empty shell of a person. I had no idea what pieces were even worth picking up again.
I found Comet curled up in a corner that afternoon. He’d been asleep, but he lifted his head and looked at me when I came in. I reached a hand toward him. He nuzzled it, immediately burst into a deep, loud purr, and gave me a perfectly content cat grin. I moved my hand down to scratch his back and sides, and he stretched luxuriously, giving me looks of absolute adoration.
At that point, it hit me: this cat loved me. The cat I didn’t want, the cat I couldn’t bear to take care of when his life depended on it, loved me. And he would always love me. No matter what was going on in my life, Comet would still look up from a nap when I entered the room, would still love to be touched by me.
I believe love is steadfast. I believe that real love, whether it comes from your families, or a shelter cat, is offered determinedly and unconditionally. Love is what enables us to pick up the pieces of our broken lives and go on.
4. Why was the writer unwilling to adopt Comet initially
A．He thought adult cats were more gentle.
B．His sister resisted adopting Comet.
C．Kittens were thought easier to be adopted.
D．Comet was a weak and sick kitten.
5. How did Comet help the writer go through his emotional breakdown
A．By lying quietly beside him.
B．By making him feel deeply loved.
C．By distracting him with grins.
D．By protecting him from loneliness.
6. What does the underlined word “steadfast” in paragraph 6 mean
A．Faithful.
B．Romantic.
C．Temporary.
D．Unforgettable.
7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．Love wins all
B．Love on four feet
C．An encounter with a kitten
D．A rescue of a shelter kitten
C
For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable and consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the bloodbrain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no.
The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies.
The effect is twoway. There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread.
The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the bloodbrain barrier.
It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even reevaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven.
8. What do the researchers focus on about the brain
A．Its protecting system.
B．Its exposure to diseases.
C．Its controlling function.
D．Its connection to the body.
9. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2
A．By explaining a theory.
B．By providing examples.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By presenting cause and effect.
10. Which best describes treatments that do not cross the bloodbrain barrier
A．Cheaper.
B．More specific.
C．Safer.
D．More direct.
11. What does the study suggest in the last paragraph
A．Brain health depends on immune changes.
B．Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions.
C．The brain can help enhance psychological health.
D．The brain may be key to treating physical diseases.
D
A pair of researchers with Leibniz University of Hannover has demonstrated the means by which robots might be programmed to experience something similar to pain in animals. As part of their demonstration at last week’s IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation held in Stockholm, Johannes Kuehn and Sami Haddaddin showed how pain might be used in robots, by interacting with a BioTac fingertip sensor on the end of a Kuka robotic arm that had been programmed to react differently to differing amounts of pain.
The idea of developing an artificial robot nervous system may seem contrary to all expectations, but Kuehn says doing so is important in the same way that it is good for humans to feel pain. “Pain is a system that protects us,” says Kuchn. “When we avoid the source of pain, it helps us not get hurt.” So when robots can feel and react to pain, they will become smart enough to avoid it. The more dangerous the robot registers the threat to be, the faster it will withdraw and avoid the source of danger. Additionally, Kuehn and Haddadin say humans working alongside robots that feel pain, especially those in heavy machinery, will be protected around them.
They have tested out some of their ideas using a robotic arm with a fingertip sensor that can detect pressure and temperature. It uses a robottissue patch (小片) modeled on human skin to decide how much pain should be felt and thus what action to take. For example, if the arm feels light pain, it slowly withdraws until the pain stops, and then returns to its original task; severe pain, meanwhile, causes the arm to go into a kind of lockdown mode until it can get help from a human operator.
Such robots are likely to raise a host of questions, of course, if they become more common — if a robot acts the same way a human does when touching a hot plate, are we to believe it is truly experiencing pain Only time will tell of course, but one thing that is evident, Kuehn and Haddadin’s work could lead to robots that are more humanlike than ever.
12. What do we learn about the robots in the demonstration
A．They can learn skills like animals.
B．They can communicate with people.
C．They have the ability to feel pain.
D．They respond differently to requests.
13. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A．The significance of teaching robots to feel pain.
B．The principle of robots’ avoidance of injuries.
C．The analysis of the artificial robot nervous system.
D．The value of protecting human workers from injury.
14. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3
A．The robot is smart enough to carry out different tasks.
B．The robot can hardly work as well as a human operator.
C．The robot can react differently based on degrees of pain.
D．The robot is tolerant of changes of pressure and temperature.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward Kuehn and Haddadin’s study
A．Dismissive.
B．Doubtful.
C．Unclear.
D．Optimistic.

When did we start walking for leisure
“Going for a walk” is a popular pastime among older and younger generations alike because of its wellknown benefits for our physical and mental health. But you may be surprised to hear that wandering through pretty streets or hiking in mountainous have not always been considered leisure activities, according to Daniel Gale, a researcher of pedestrianism (步行运动).
　　16　　Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, some of whom even associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and tramping around the countryside was a big part of the creative process.　　17　　He walked at an impressive pace of four miles per hour, according to his biography by Peter Ackroyd.
　　18　　Perhaps you can take inspiration from another bigthinking wanderer. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach, preferring to stroll over hills and fields and through the woods. He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits without walking at least four hours a day.
This idea of taking a stroll to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century. But have pedestrian manners remained the same A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as hanging around in conversation and obstructing people behind you.　　19　　
In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, try the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature.　　20　　Whether you see yourself more as a casual stroller or a purposeful strider (阔步者), why not build a habit out of it
A．What if speedwalking isn’t your thing
B．This may make all the difference to our wellbeing.
C．Nowadays, we could add distracted phoneusers.
D．He brought the recreation of walking into fashion.
E．Going on an urban walk is much more pleasant now.
F．It was a time to absorb what was going on around him.
G．In Britain, walking for fun wasn’t really a thing until the 1780s.

七、读后续写
57.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 harbor a deep fondness for basketball, despite not being a genetically gifted athlete. My journey with the sport began in the sixth grade, when I spent countless hours practicing outdoors, day in and day out, refining my shot to perfection. In every game, I gave it my all, and my perseverance eventually paid off when I made the team in the eighth grade, eventually earning a starting position. Though I couldn’t match the speed or leaping ability of my naturally athletic teammates, this never discouraged me. I was steadfast in my belief that hard work would ultimately triumph.
As the season progressed, we faced numerous challenges. But we won game after game, earning a spot in the playoffs and, eventually, the finals. The journey to that point was filled with highs and lows, but we had grown stronger together, learning to trust in each other and our abilities.
Then came the final. Our coach laid out our plan. He emphasized the importance of teamwork, dedication, and resilience. Two seconds were left on the clock, we were down by one point, and I was at the freethrow line. If I made the first shot, I would take a second shot. If we lost, we were out.
Now this was my moment, all eyes on me. As a good freethrow shooter, I had honed my craft through thousands of repetitions. Yet, on that crucial day, on that fateful shot, I missed. I immediately jumped up for the rebound, but it was seized by an opponent. The game was over. We were out. My heart sank as I realized that despite all the hours of practice, despite overcoming my limitations, despite believing in the power of hard work, we hadn’t come out victorious.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式作答。
As the final buzzer sounded, the court erupted in a mix of emotions—celebration from the opposing team and disappointment from mine.
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________

The next day, we returned to the court, not as defeated players, but as a team ready to rebuild and strive for even greater heights.

七、读后续写范文
As the final buzzer sounded, the court erupted in a mix of emotions—celebration from the opposing team and disappointment from mine. Burdened with guilt, I lowered my head, tears welling up in my eyes. Much to my surprise, my teammates surrounded me, patting my shoulders gently instead of blaming me. They told me no one should be responsible for the loss and that they appreciated every effort I had made. Our coach also comforted me, reminding me that failure was part of growth. Gradually, my sadness faded away.
The next day, we returned to the court, not as defeated players, but as a team ready to rebuild and strive for even greater heights. We analyzed our mistakes in the final game and practiced harder than before. I kept practising freethrows to improve my skills. Though we failed to win the championship this time, we gained precious experience. I realized hard work didn’t guarantee victory, yet it made us stronger and more united. We were determined to come back stronger for next season.
