Over the weekend, social media was excited about a heart-stopping gymnastic routine and we have UCLA athlete Katelyn Ohashi to thank. The routine itself is only ninety seconds long, but the
3
21-year-old athlete jumped, flipped, turned, and showed off her incredible talent across the floor to a combination of R&B and soul music. Ohashi earned a well-deserved perfect 10 from the judges and her performance eventually led the UCLA to victory at the end of the competition.
But the best part? This isn’t the first time she’s gone viral — it’s the second time in a year she’s
achieved eye-catching fame, and it’s for good reason. At the 2018 Pac 12 Championships, Ohashi performed an awesome floor routine set to a combination of Michael Jackson’s hits.
Ohashi exudes (流露) joy in her performances, and she’s not afraid to smile widely when she
knows she’s done well. It’s acceptable, because it’s clear she’s having fun, a rare sight in the field
of professional sports. Born in Seattle, Ohashi did four years on the USA Gymnastic’s junior national team, and won the 2013 American Cup. But behind the scenes, things weren’t so great.
Ohashi was under intense pressure competing at the elite (精英) level. Fans told her she wasn’t
good enough, and she was under pressure to be thin. Ultimately, she decided to walk away from elite gymnastics to become a college athlete. She underwent surgery for a broken back and two torn shoulders in 2014. These injuries kept her away from the sport until 2015 when she joined the UCLA Bruins gymnastics team for the 2015–16 season.
“There was a time when I was on top of the world, an Olympic hopeful. I was unbeatable until
I wasn’t,” Ohashi said. “It hurt. But it also took me finding Ms. Val and the UCLA and having a different goal and path to follow, to finally find joy and love within the sport again, which I haven’t been able to feel in a long time.”
24. Which is closest in meaning to the phrase “gone viral” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Become popular. B. Appear suddenly.
C. Change surprisingly. D. Succeed unexpectedly.
25. What do we know about Katelyn Ohashi?
A. She was little-known until recently.
B. Her gymnastic skills improved in the UCLA.
C. She won her first victory in the UCLA.
D. Her gymnastic career wasn’t always full of joy.
26. How does Ohashi sound in the end?
A. Regretful. B. Appreciative. C. Humorous. D. Confused.
27. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Regain self-confidence B. Battle against ill remarks
C. Go beyond physical limits D. Rediscover joy of gymnastics
C
Felix Ruppert and Alexander Badri-Sprowitz at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, designed a half-metre-high robot called Morti and gave it the capacity to teach itself how to walk, rather than to perform a pre-programmed step. The four-legged robot took only an hour to learn how to walk steadily, roughly the same amount of time as newborn
4
horses need. And it’s the first time that a machine learning technique has been so successfully applied to four-legged robots.
Morti is controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm（算法）that doesn’t have much
information about the robot’s legs, such as the exact shape of each element. “The AI, working like the central nervous system, gives walking instructions for Morti to follow. It then adjusts them on the basis of readings from foot sentences that signal when the robot falls and loses contact with the ground. Initially, Morti falls down, but after about an hour the AI finds the best way to make it walk,” said RUppert.
Because the AI learns rather than calculating details of each leg’s movement in advance, which
can use a lot of energy, Morti walks using 42 percent less energy than when it first starts at the end of an hour-long learning process. Morti’s process copies the way baby animals learn to move, as they also find the most efficient way to use their muscles by trying and initially tripping.
Dhireesha Kudithipudi at the University of Texas at San Antonio said that AI robots can often
learn a specific task very well but can’t make readjustments when the environment changes and that Morti’s design, which relies on continually adjusting the robot’s movement, may perform better in that regard. Ruppert said he and the team are working on adding more sensors and range of motion to Morti in a gesture to make it a more animal-like robot.
28. What is special about Morti?
A. It is pre-programmed to walk. B. It can learn to walk by itself.
C. It is the first four-legged robot. D. It can help teach the newborns.
29. Which aspect of Morti is stressed in Paragraph 2?
A. Its body structure. B. Its design concept.
C. Its learning process. D. Its working conditions.
30. How does the AI’s learning ability benefit Morti?
A. By predicting Morti’s leg movement.
B. By training Morti’s muscles to the best.
C. By lowering Morti’s energy consumption.
D. By strengthening Morti’s bond with others.
31. What is Dhireesha Kudithipudi’s attitude towards Morti?
A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Subjective. D. Favorable.
D
Diets high in protein, particularly protein from plants, have been linked to lower risks of developing disease like diabetes, heart disease and stroke, while regular consumption of red meat and high intake of animal proteins have been linked to several health problems.
But data on the association between different types of proteins and health are conflicting. So
researchers based in Iran and the USA set out to measure the potential relation between intake of total, animal, and plant protein and the risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular (心血管的) disease, and cancer.
5
They reviewed the results of 32 studies that reported risk estimates for all causes, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality (死亡) in adults 19 years of age or older. During the follow-up period of up to 32 years, 113,039 deaths occurred among 715,128 participants. The results show that high intake of total protein was associated with a lower risk of all cause mortality. Intake of plant protein was associated with an 8% lower risk of all cause mortality and a 12% lower risk of cardiovascular disease mortality. Intake of animal protein was not significantly associated with risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality.
Possible reasons for the beneficial effects of plant protein include their association with
favourable changes in blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, which might help to lower the risk of conditions like heart disease, say the researchers. They say these findings “support
current dietary recommendations to the general population”.
Their study excluded differences in the way studies assessed diet and the possibility that some effects may have been due to unmeasured factors. What’s more, as most of the included studies were from Western nations, the findings may not be applicable to other countries.
The researchers say they will be performing a more systematic study to assess the association
between disease and eating habits.
32. How did the researchers conduct their study?
A. By doing new experiments. B. By analyzing previous studies.
C. By including worldwide studies. D. By observing objects for 19 years.
33. What might “current dietary recommendations” be?
A. Totally avoiding red meat. B. Having a high-calorie diet.
C. Increasing animal protein intake. D. Following a plant-based diet.
34. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 5?
A. Ways of research. B. Sources of these studies.
C. Limitations of the study. D. Different forms of assessments.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To inform people of a study. B. To stress protein’s importance.
C. To give people diet suggestions. D. To promote awareness of protein.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳遗项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Regret is a very real reaction to a disappointing event in your life, a choice you made that can’t
be changed, something you said that you can’t take back. 36 Regret can increase our
stress, negatively affect physical health and disturb the balance of our immune systems.
37 One is what researchers refer to as the action path and the other is the inaction
path. That is, we can regret the things we did or we can regret the things we did not do. Research
suggests that action-related regret, although painful, encourages people to learn from their mistakes
and move on. 38 This kind of regret is more likely to lead to depression and anxiety.
As with other negative emotions, it doesn’t work to avoid, deny or try to destroy regret.
39 Rather than stay put, people can manage these emotions in four steps: First, accept
the fact that you are feeling them; determine why you are feeling them; allow yourself to learn from them: and, finally, release them and move forward.
You can help release these feelings of regret by practicing self-compassion (自我同情).This
6
means reminding yourself that you are human, you are doing the best you can and you can learn
from past decisions and grow. 40
Noticing, acknowledging and then forgiving your thoughts are a powerful step towards overcoming regret.
A. Dealing with regret is even more difficult.
B. Regret is not only unpleasant, but also unhealthy.
C. There are basically two ways to experience regret.
D. But regret related to the inaction path is harder to fix.
E. Seeing the situation in a different way may help reduce regret.
F. In the long run, these strategies only increase negative feelings.
G. Showing this compassion to yourself can help you accept and move past the regret.

High school graduations are one of the most important ceremonies in a teenager’s life. So

he learned the details of Peters’ 47 , he accompanied the young man to see if he could
48 the gatekeeper’s mind.
“I was 49 that if she saw me with him, maybe she would let it go, but she 50
not letting this young man in,” Butler said. Without missing a beat, Butler simply 51 his
size-1l loafers (平底便鞋) for Peters’ size-9 athletic shoes. With seconds to spare, Peters 52
it inside the venue just as the doors closed and was able to 53 his place in the graduation
line.
“I wasn’t 54 because Mr. Butler is that type of person,” 55 Peters said. “At
school, if you’re having a bad day, he’ll be the one to take you out of class, walk around the school with you and talk to you.”

The wilderness (荒野) is one of Canada’s treasures and the Canadian national parks are the
system through 56 the Canadian government protects, preserves and displays some of
the country’s most 57 (impress) territory for the benefit of residents, visitors and the
environment.
Every national park in Canada is a little bit different, but the majority are 58
(heavy) forested areas with mountainous landscapes that get snowy in the winter. Most national
parks can be used 59 hiking, cycling and camping, as well as skiing during snowy
months.
All of Canada’s national parks 60 (run) by the Canadian federal government and
many have unique rules that must be obeyed. In theory, any park can be visited, 61 many
national parks do not permit camping outside of campsite areas, or require campers 62
(get) permission to camp in advance. While the majorityof national parks have government facilities
within them, such as visitor centers or ranger stations (护林站) to provide emergency 63
(assist) for visitors, many do not, 64 (mean) visitors may be taking 65

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 the Spellman family moved next door to us, my mother believed that they were sent to
test her good nature. See, our block was pretty quiet until the Spellman family came. There were senior citizens, the newlywed couple, and us—the Middleton family. We didn’t live in any way like
the Spellman family did. We kept our lawn cut and turned off our lights at 9 p.m. However, the
Spellman family had quite a different lifestyle.
The first thing that you must know is that there were sixteen of them, all different ages from twin babies to grown men. That part is only relevant because each Spellman had a loud personality, and sixteen loud personalities create a lot of volume. They played loud music day and night, had crowds of noisy guests coming and going, and every one of those sixteen Spellmans must have owned a bike that they kept resting in the front yard.
Living next to those Spellmans almost drove my mother crazy. If she wasn’t complaining to
her sister Jackie about the way the Spellman girls dressed, then she was shooing the Spellman’s dogs out of our yard or filing noise complaints with the police. My mother had never been so busy. She was even organizing a “good neighbors” committee to discuss ways to improve the neighborhood. All she ever spoke of was the Spellman family and their wrongdoings.
One Sunday afternoon, my mother was driving Ms. Parker home to her house on the hill when
we got a flat tyre. My father was out of town at the time, so it was just me, my mother, and Ms. Parker. All of us might have been able to get the spare tyre out of the trunk (后备箱), but as far as changing the tyre, we were totally clueless. Since Ms. Parker lived so far up that hill, not a lot of
traffic drove by us. It had been about fifteen minutes since the last car passed when we heard the
sharp noises of an old car.
The Spellman boys ran up to our car and realized what had happened.___________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
The next day the Spellman’s dogs walked through my mother’s flower garden again.

of professional sports. Born in Seattle, Ohashi did four years on the USA Gymnastic’s junior national team, and won the 2013 American Cup. But behind the scenes, things weren’t so great.
Ohashi was under intense pressure competing at the elite (精英) level. Fans told her she wasn’t
good enough, and she was under pressure to be thin. Ultimately, she decided to walk away from elite gymnastics to become a college athlete. She underwent surgery for a broken back and two torn shoulders in 2014. These injuries kept her away from the sport until 2015 when she joined the UCLA Bruins gymnastics team for the 2015–16 season.
“There was a time when I was on top of the world, an Olympic hopeful. I was unbeatable until
I wasn’t,” Ohashi said. “It hurt. But it also took me finding Ms. Val and the UCLA and having a different goal and path to follow, to finally find joy and love within the sport again, which I haven’t been able to feel in a long time.”
24. Which is closest in meaning to the phrase “gone viral” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Become popular. B. Appear suddenly.
C. Change surprisingly. D. Succeed unexpectedly.
25. What do we know about Katelyn Ohashi?
A. She was little-known until recently.
B. Her gymnastic skills improved in the UCLA.
C. She won her first victory in the UCLA.
D. Her gymnastic career wasn’t always full of joy.
26. How does Ohashi sound in the end?
A. Regretful. B. Appreciative. C. Humorous. D. Confused.
27. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Regain self-confidence B. Battle against ill remarks
C. Go beyond physical limits D. Rediscover joy of gymnastics
C
Felix Ruppert and Alexander Badri-Sprowitz at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, designed a half-metre-high robot called Morti and gave it the capacity to teach itself how to walk, rather than to perform a pre-programmed step. The four-legged robot took only an hour to learn how to walk steadily, roughly the same amount of time as newborn
4
horses need. And it’s the first time that a machine learning technique has been so successfully applied to four-legged robots.
Morti is controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm（算法）that doesn’t have much
information about the robot’s legs, such as the exact shape of each element. “The AI, working like the central nervous system, gives walking instructions for Morti to follow. It then adjusts them on the basis of readings from foot sentences that signal when the robot falls and loses contact with the ground. Initially, Morti falls down, but after about an hour the AI finds the best way to make it walk,” said RUppert.
Because the AI learns rather than calculating details of each leg’s movement in advance, which
can use a lot of energy, Morti walks using 42 percent less energy than when it first starts at the end of an hour-long learning process. Morti’s process copies the way baby animals learn to move, as they also find the most efficient way to use their muscles by trying and initially tripping.
Dhireesha Kudithipudi at the University of Texas at San Antonio said that AI robots can often
learn a specific task very well but can’t make readjustments when the environment changes and that Morti’s design, which relies on continually adjusting the robot’s movement, may perform better in that regard. Ruppert said he and the team are working on adding more sensors and range of motion to Morti in a gesture to make it a more animal-like robot.
28. What is special about Morti?
A. It is pre-programmed to walk. B. It can learn to walk by itself.
C. It is the first four-legged robot. D. It can help teach the newborns.
29. Which aspect of Morti is stressed in Paragraph 2?
A. Its body structure. B. Its design concept.
C. Its learning process. D. Its working conditions.
30. How does the AI’s learning ability benefit Morti?
A. By predicting Morti’s leg movement.
B. By training Morti’s muscles to the best.
C. By lowering Morti’s energy consumption.
D. By strengthening Morti’s bond with others.
31. What is Dhireesha Kudithipudi’s attitude towards Morti?
A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Subjective. D. Favorable.
D
Diets high in protein, particularly protein from plants, have been linked to lower risks of developing disease like diabetes, heart disease and stroke, while regular consumption of red meat and high intake of animal proteins have been linked to several health problems.
But data on the association between different types of proteins and health are conflicting. So
researchers based in Iran and the USA set out to measure the potential relation between intake of total, animal, and plant protein and the risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular (心血管的) disease, and cancer.
5
They reviewed the results of 32 studies that reported risk estimates for all causes, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality (死亡) in adults 19 years of age or older. During the follow-up period of up to 32 years, 113,039 deaths occurred among 715,128 participants. The results show that high intake of total protein was associated with a lower risk of all cause mortality. Intake of plant protein was associated with an 8% lower risk of all cause mortality and a 12% lower risk of cardiovascular disease mortality. Intake of animal protein was not significantly associated with risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality.
Possible reasons for the beneficial effects of plant protein include their association with
favourable changes in blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, which might help to lower the risk of conditions like heart disease, say the researchers. They say these findings “support
current dietary recommendations to the general population”.
Their study excluded differences in the way studies assessed diet and the possibility that some effects may have been due to unmeasured factors. What’s more, as most of the included studies were from Western nations, the findings may not be applicable to other countries.
The researchers say they will be performing a more systematic study to assess the association
between disease and eating habits.
32. How did the researchers conduct their study?
A. By doing new experiments. B. By analyzing previous studies.
C. By including worldwide studies. D. By observing objects for 19 years.
33. What might “current dietary recommendations” be?
A. Totally avoiding red meat. B. Having a high-calorie diet.
C. Increasing animal protein intake. D. Following a plant-based diet.
34. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 5?
A. Ways of research. B. Sources of these studies.
C. Limitations of the study. D. Different forms of assessments.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To inform people of a study. B. To stress protein’s importance.
C. To give people diet suggestions. D. To promote awareness of protein.

Regret is a very real reaction to a disappointing event in your life, a choice you made that can’t
be changed, something you said that you can’t take back. 36 Regret can increase our
stress, negatively affect physical health and disturb the balance of our immune systems.
37 One is what researchers refer to as the action path and the other is the inaction
path. That is, we can regret the things we did or we can regret the things we did not do. Research
suggests that action-related regret, although painful, encourages people to learn from their mistakes
and move on. 38 This kind of regret is more likely to lead to depression and anxiety.
As with other negative emotions, it doesn’t work to avoid, deny or try to destroy regret.
39 Rather than stay put, people can manage these emotions in four steps: First, accept
the fact that you are feeling them; determine why you are feeling them; allow yourself to learn from them: and, finally, release them and move forward.
You can help release these feelings of regret by practicing self-compassion (自我同情).This
6
means reminding yourself that you are human, you are doing the best you can and you can learn
from past decisions and grow. 40
Noticing, acknowledging and then forgiving your thoughts are a powerful step towards overcoming regret.
A. Dealing with regret is even more difficult.
B. Regret is not only unpleasant, but also unhealthy.
C. There are basically two ways to experience regret.
D. But regret related to the inaction path is harder to fix.
E. Seeing the situation in a different way may help reduce regret.
F. In the long run, these strategies only increase negative feelings.
G. Showing this compassion to yourself can help you accept and move past the regret.

it inside the venue just as the doors closed and was able to 53 his place in the graduation
line.
“I wasn’t 54 because Mr. Butler is that type of person,” 55 Peters said. “At

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 the Spellman family moved next door to us, my mother believed that they were sent to
test her good nature. See, our block was pretty quiet until the Spellman family came. There were senior citizens, the newlywed couple, and us—the Middleton family. We didn’t live in any way like
the Spellman family did. We kept our lawn cut and turned off our lights at 9 p.m. However, the
Spellman family had quite a different lifestyle.
The first thing that you must know is that there were sixteen of them, all different ages from twin babies to grown men. That part is only relevant because each Spellman had a loud personality, and sixteen loud personalities create a lot of volume. They played loud music day and night, had crowds of noisy guests coming and going, and every one of those sixteen Spellmans must have owned a bike that they kept resting in the front yard.
Living next to those Spellmans almost drove my mother crazy. If she wasn’t complaining to
her sister Jackie about the way the Spellman girls dressed, then she was shooing the Spellman’s dogs out of our yard or filing noise complaints with the police. My mother had never been so busy. She was even organizing a “good neighbors” committee to discuss ways to improve the neighborhood. All she ever spoke of was the Spellman family and their wrongdoings.
One Sunday afternoon, my mother was driving Ms. Parker home to her house on the hill when
we got a flat tyre. My father was out of town at the time, so it was just me, my mother, and Ms. Parker. All of us might have been able to get the spare tyre out of the trunk (后备箱), but as far as changing the tyre, we were totally clueless. Since Ms. Parker lived so far up that hill, not a lot of
traffic drove by us. It had been about fifteen minutes since the last car passed when we heard the
sharp noises of an old car.
The Spellman boys ran up to our car and realized what had happened.___________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
The next day the Spellman’s dogs walked through my mother’s flower garden again.
