Yu might have thught that the wrld’s lngest-serving lifeguard wuld be fund n a sunny beach in Califrnia r Australia. But n a rainy British spring day, the Guinness Wrld Recrds peple held a ceremny in Burnemuth t award lcal lifeguard Chris Lewis the title. Lewis, 74, began wrking at the Drset spt when he was 16, meaning he has been cming t the aid f users f the sandy beaches here fr 58 years. “It’s the best jb in the wrld,” he said. “Yu’re wrking n the beach, which I lve, and yu’re helping peple. What culd be better?”
Lewis said friends used t rib（逗弄）him that his clleagues in Ryal Natinal Lifebat Institutin （RNLI）were half his age. Nw they say they’re a third my age,” said. But he is still fighting fit. RNLI lifeguards must cmplete a 400-metr e pl swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have t d a 25-metr e pl swim underwater and a 25-metr e surface swim cntinuusly in under 50 secnds. And run 200 metres alng the beach in under 40 secnds. The swimming fitness tests are still reasnably easy fr Lewis. All winter he has been ding 3,000 metres f sea swimming each mnth with n wetsuit.
Lewis had ever suffered anxiety and depressin. But he believes his training and the time spent n the beach relieved this. He nw helps t train yung lifeguards. Over the years, he has perfrmed hundreds f rescues.

We all remember that first cry at the mvies. Whether they are tears f jy r sadness, it’s quite astnishing that human emtin can be cntrlled by mving images n a screen. In fact, it all cmes frm a plan. But what abut thse heart-breaking stries… fr kids? They seem nt t sugarcat the realities f the wrld.
Actually, many great kids’ mvies laded with tragedy （悲剧）are purpsefully meant t stir up kids’ strng feelings. Accrding t Aristtle, tragedy aids us in facing life’s unslvable issues thrugh sensible thught. Therefre, the existence f tragedy in kids’ mvies is t teach kids t handle, t understand and t heal（治愈）. The hardest lessn fr a child is hw t deal with lss, especially if it’s sudden. The cartn classic The Lin King tells the stry f Simba, wh experiences the lss f his father. Kids see themselves in Simba’s character. He has dreams. He has a desire t grw and be a part f a bigger wrld. But it is really heartbreaking t see the lss.
Why is a film like this s belved when it makes kids cry? The lessn it teaches is t vercme hardships and t mve frward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase frm The Lin King is t teach kids it’s kay t mve n frm tragic lss and nt t let it define yu. It’s an imprtant lessn we learned at a very yung age. Sadness shuld nt be ignred. It’s imprtant t feel sad, and that is why these films are s great. In Dumb, Charltte’s Web and Bridge t Terabithia, we lse ur belved characters. This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them t accept sadness and makes smething new ut f it.
S, what is the message behind a sad kids’ mvie? It’s meant t teach the audience, especially children, t gain their independence and hw t free themselves frm tragedy. It’s like a cushin（缓冲垫）that separates stries frm reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they cme fr real, r at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata.
28. Why des the authr mentin “first cry” in paragraph 1?
A. T prmte a mvie. B. T explain the reasn.
C. T supprt an argument. D. T intrduce the tpic.
29. What des the underlined phrase “Hakun a Matata” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Defining sadness as a treatment.
B. Challenging neself with tragic lsses.
C. Seeking knwledge t enrich life.
D. Heading frward withut being trapped.
30. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Sad kids’ mvies help children t escape frm reality.
B. Sad kids’ mvies prepare children fr life struggles.
C. Children can learn t ignre sadness in tragedy.
D. Children can find a way t hide sad feelings.
31. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Why Are Great Kids’ Mvies S Sad?
B. What Is the Pwer f Great Kids’ Mvies?
C. Life’s Hardest Lessn: Hw Mvies Inspire Us?
D. Mving Beynd Reality: What Kids’ Mvies Teach Us?

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescpe has discvered a planet where it rains sand, in grund-breaking bservatin.
The planet, WASP-107b, lying 200 light years away, was discvered in 2017 after astrnmers sptted a distinct peridic light ging n and ff like a candle frm its hst star each time the planet passed in frnt f it.“It’s like a fly in frnt f a street lamp,” said Leen Decin, a prfessr at Institute f Astrnmy f KU Leuven. “Yu see a slight dimming（变暗）f the light.”
While Webb’s instruments fund signs f water vapur（水蒸气）and sulfur dixide （SO2）n WASP-107b, they als fund cluds f silicn dixide （SiO2）that behave similar t water cluds n Earth, meaning that n WASP-107b, it rains sand.
The planet’s atmsphere wuld feature smething like Earth’s water cycle, but instead with sand cycling between slid and gas states. Frm the htter, lwer levels f the atmsphere, silicate vapur wuld rise up, cl and frm tiny sands, t small t see. Eventually, these cluds f sand dust wuld becme thick enugh that they begin t rain back dwn t the lwer layers f the atmsphere. Belw a certain level, the sand wuld transfrm int vapur, cmpleting the cycle.
A central aim f the James Webb Space Telescpe is t analyse the atmspheres f distant planets and search fr bisignature gases that culd shw the presence f life. WASP-107b is nt regarded as a likely candidate（候选）, given its 1,000℃ climate and lack f a slid surface. Hwever, the level f detail being gt frm targets like WASP-107b is seen as an encuraging sign. It’s the first time that we have been able t identify the chemical cmpsitin f cluds in the atmsphere f a distant planet, marking a significant leap in ur understanding f the distant wrlds.
“The universe has s many surprises,” said Decin. “I d imagine that there may be varius different chices fr life t frm n anther planet. It might be very different frm smething yu knw here n Earth. We have t braden ur imaginatins.”
32. Hw did astrnmers discver the planet WASP-107b?
A. By mnitring the mvement f a fly.
B. By studying the brightness f a street lamp.
C. By cmparing the distance f planets.
D. By bserving light change f its hst star.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The cycle f sand rain. B. The develpment f vapur.
C. The feature f cluds. D. The temperature f atmsphere.
34. What can we knw abut WASP-107b accrding t paragraph 5?
A. It has the same atmsphere as the Earth’s.
B. It has signs indicating the presence f water.
C. Its climate and surface cnditins can’t supprt life.
D. Its chemical cmpsitin disables clud frmatin.
35. What is Decin’s attitude t the pssibility f life in the universe?
A. Negative. B. Psitive. C. Cautius. D. Dubtful.

Being able t accept criticism（批评）and use it wisely is nt just an imprtant life skill; it’ll als make yu happier. 36 Here are several rules fr ding just that.
It’s nt persnal.
When we receive criticism, we tend t cnsider it a judgment n ur abilities rather than n ur perfrmance. 37 The slutin is t set up an internal belief such as: “It’s nt a persnal attack n me. I’ll think abut it n its face abut the matter at hand.”
Treat criticism like helpful infrmatin.
Depersnalizing（去个人化）criticism is a helpful apprach that mves the fcus frm emtin t analysis. 38 It’s a rare glimpse int what utsiders think abut yur perfrmance, and thus a ptential pprtunity t crrect curse and imprve.
Make criticism a gift, never a weapn.
39 Fr sme—bsses, fr example—ding s is part f the jb. The key t criticizing t best effect is t remember the gift/weapn rule: If I am criticizing t help, I am ding it right; if I am ding it t harm,I am ding it wrng.
Praise in public, criticize in private.
A study shwed that psitive feedback given t students in public was 9 percent mre inspiring than when given privately, while negative feedback in private was 11 percent mre inspiring than in public. S what des that mean fr yur rude Amazn reviews? 40 Or better yet, dn’t send them at all—unless yu truly intend them t be cnstructive.
A. Unfrtunately, we hate being criticized.
B. Send them t the authr directly, if yu dare.
C. We all have t give criticism frm time t time.
D. Once yu d it, yu can start t see criticism fr what it is.
E. We may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism itself.
F. It leads t lwer self-wrth, lwer psitive md and less cnfidence.
G. A way t master the skill is t frm new habits f getting and giving criticism.

第二节 （满分15分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The rbts are cming! In science fictin, it is usually a warning. In the real wrld, it is a welcme ne. The field f rbtics has made impressive prgress in the past year, thanks t the advances in artificial intelligence （AI）applied t machines. Rbts are becming mre capable, easier t prgram and able t explain what they are ding. Althugh human beings smetimes are afraid f them, the latest advances in rbtics will bring real and significant benefits.
One is that new “multimdal” AI mdels cmbine understanding f language and visin with data frm rbtic sensrs and actuatrs（执行器）. This makes it pssible t deal with rbts using rdinary wrds. Yu can ask a rbt what it is able t see r tell it t “pick up the yellw fruit”. Such mdels in effect give rbts a degree f cmmn sense—in this case, knwing that a nearby banana is a kind f yellw fruit.
Anther is that the new mdels enable rbts t explain the reasning behind their actins. That is useful when they behave in unexpected r unwelcme ways. S lng as rbts’ brains are nt mysterius black bxes, prgramming them is fairly easy. The rbts are safer and mre reliable because their understanding is grunded in bservatins f the wrld, and they aim t ensure that cgnitive（认知的）and physical reality match.
Additinally, rbts are getting better at learning quickly thrugh cpying and at generalizing frm ne skill t anther. This pens the dr fr rbts t mve ut f factries and warehuses. Labr markets acrss the rich wrld are tight—and getting tighter as scieties age. As well as increasing prductivity while wrk frces drp, mre capable rbts culd ck, clean, and care fr the aged and the needy.
Advanced ecnmies will need mre autmatin（自动化）if they are t maintain their standards f living. With ppulatins aging quickly, rbts can help peple avid wrking fr lnger perids and retiring later. In the cming years, attitudes culd well change frm fearing the arrival f rbts t wishing that they wuld get here sner.

Yu might have thught that the wrld’s lngest-serving lifeguard wuld be fund n a sunny beach in Califrnia r Australia. But n a rainy British spring day, the Guinness Wrld Recrds peple held a ceremny in Burnemuth t award lcal lifeguard Chris Lewis the title. Lewis, 74, began wrking at the Drset spt when he was 16, meaning he has been cming t the aid f users f the sandy beaches here fr 58 years. “It’s the best jb in the wrld,” he said. “Yu’re wrking n the beach, which I lve, and yu’re helping peple. What culd be better?”
Lewis said friends used t rib（逗弄）him that his clleagues in Ryal Natinal Lifebat Institutin （RNLI）were half his age. Nw they say they’re a third my age,” said. But he is still fighting fit. RNLI lifeguards must cmplete a 400-metr e pl swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have t d a 25-metr e pl swim underwater and a 25-metr e surface swim cntinuusly in under 50 secnds. And run 200 metres alng the beach in under 40 secnds. The swimming fitness tests are still reasnably easy fr Lewis. All winter he has been ding 3,000 metres f sea swimming each mnth with n wetsuit.
Lewis had ever suffered anxiety and depressin. But he believes his training and the time spent n the beach relieved this. He nw helps t train yung lifeguards. Over the years, he has perfrmed hundreds f rescues. He says giving ad vice that prevents peple getting int truble is preferable t carrying ut exciting rescues.“I wuld lve t g thrugh the whle f summer withut having t rescue anybdy.”

We all remember that first cry at the mvies. Whether they are tears f jy r sadness, it’s quite astnishing that human emtin can be cntrlled by mving images n a screen. In fact, it all cmes frm a plan. But what abut thse heart-breaking stries… fr kids? They seem nt t sugarcat the realities f the wrld.
Actually, many great kids’ mvies laded with tragedy （悲剧）are purpsefully meant t stir up kids’ strng feelings. Accrding t Aristtle, tragedy aids us in facing life’s unslvable issues thrugh sensible thught. Therefre, the existence f tragedy in kids’ mvies is t teach kids t handle, t understand and t heal（治愈）. The hardest lessn fr a child is hw t deal with lss, especially if it’s sudden. The cartn classic The Lin King tells the stry f Simba, wh experiences the lss f his father. Kids see themselves in Simba’s character. He has dreams. He has a desire t grw and be a part f a bigger wrld. But it is really heartbreaking t see the lss.
Why is a film like this s belved when it makes kids cry? The lessn it teaches is t vercme hardships and t mve frward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase frm The Lin King is t teach kids it’s kay t mve n frm tragic lss and nt t let it define yu. It’s an imprtant lessn we learned at a very yung age. Sadness shuld nt be ignred. It’s imprtant t feel sad, and that is why these films are s great. In Dumb, Charltte’s Web and Bridge t Terabithia, we lse ur belved characters. This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them t accept sadness and makes smething new ut f it.
S, what is the message behind a sad kids’ mvie? It’s meant t teach the audience, especially children, t gain their independence and hw t free themselves frm tragedy. It’s like a cushin（缓冲垫）that separates stries frm reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they cme fr real, r at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata.
28. Why des the authr mentin “first cry” in paragraph 1?
A. T prmte a mvie. B. T explain the reasn.
C. T supprt an argument. D. T intrduce the tpic.
29. What des the underlined phrase “Hakun a Matata” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Defining sadness as a treatment.
B. Challenging neself with tragic lsses.
C. Seeking knwledge t enrich life.
D. Heading frward withut being trapped.
30. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Sad kids’ mvies help children t escape frm reality.
B. Sad kids’ mvies prepare children fr life struggles.
C. Children can learn t ignre sadness in tragedy.
D. Children can find a way t hide sad feelings.
31. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Why Are Great Kids’ Mvies S Sad?
B. What Is the Pwer f Great Kids’ Mvies?
C. Life’s Hardest Lessn: Hw Mvies Inspire Us?
D. Mving Beynd Reality: What Kids’ Mvies Teach Us?

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescpe has discvered a planet where it rains sand, in grund-breaking bservatin.
The planet, WASP-107b, lying 200 light years away, was discvered in 2017 after astrnmers sptted a distinct peridic light ging n and ff like a candle frm its hst star each time the planet passed in frnt f it.“It’s like a fly in frnt f a street lamp,” said Leen Decin, a prfessr at Institute f Astrnmy f KU Leuven. “Yu see a slight dimming（变暗）f the light.”
While Webb’s instruments fund signs f water vapur（水蒸气）and sulfur dixide （SO2）n WASP-107b, they als fund cluds f silicn dixide （SiO2）that behave similar t water cluds n Earth, meaning that n WASP-107b, it rains sand.
The planet’s atmsphere wuld feature smething like Earth’s water cycle, but instead with sand cycling between slid and gas states. Frm the htter, lwer levels f the atmsphere, silicate vapur wuld rise up, cl and frm tiny sands, t small t see. Eventually, these cluds f sand dust wuld becme thick enugh that they begin t rain back dwn t the lwer layers f the atmsphere. Belw a certain level, the sand wuld transfrm int vapur, cmpleting the cycle.
A central aim f the James Webb Space Telescpe is t analyse the atmspheres f distant planets and search fr bisignature gases that culd shw the presence f life. WASP-107b is nt regarded as a likely candidate（候选）, given its 1,000℃ climate and lack f a slid surface. Hwever, the level f detail being gt frm targets like WASP-107b is seen as an encuraging sign. It’s the first time that we have been able t identify the chemical cmpsitin f cluds in the atmsphere f a distant planet, marking a significant leap in ur understanding f the distant wrlds.
“The universe has s many surprises,” said Decin. “I d imagine that there may be varius different chices fr life t frm n anther planet. It might be very different frm smething yu knw here n Earth. We have t braden ur imaginatins.”
32. Hw did astrnmers discver the planet WASP-107b?
A. By mnitring the mvement f a fly.
B. By studying the brightness f a street lamp.
C. By cmparing the distance f planets.
D. By bserving light change f its hst star.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The cycle f sand rain. B. The develpment f vapur.
C. The feature f cluds. D. The temperature f atmsphere.
34. What can we knw abut WASP-107b accrding t paragraph 5?
A. It has the same atmsphere as the Earth’s.
B. It has signs indicating the presence f water.
C. Its climate and surface cnditins can’t supprt life.
D. Its chemical cmpsitin disables clud frmatin.
35. What is Decin’s attitude t the pssibility f life in the universe?
A. Negative. B. Psitive. C. Cautius. D. Dubtful.

Being able t accept criticism（批评）and use it wisely is nt just an imprtant life skill; it’ll als make yu happier. 36 Here are several rules fr ding just that.
It’s nt persnal.
When we receive criticism, we tend t cnsider it a judgment n ur abilities rather than n ur perfrmance. 37 The slutin is t set up an internal belief such as: “It’s nt a persnal attack n me. I’ll think abut it n its face abut the matter at hand.”
Treat criticism like helpful infrmatin.
Depersnalizing（去个人化）criticism is a helpful apprach that mves the fcus frm emtin t analysis. 38 It’s a rare glimpse int what utsiders think abut yur perfrmance, and thus a ptential pprtunity t crrect curse and imprve.
Make criticism a gift, never a weapn.
39 Fr sme—bsses, fr example—ding s is part f the jb. The key t criticizing t best effect is t remember the gift/weapn rule: If I am criticizing t help, I am ding it right; if I am ding it t harm,I am ding it wrng.
Praise in public, criticize in private.
A study shwed that psitive feedback given t students in public was 9 percent mre inspiring than when given privately, while negative feedback in private was 11 percent mre inspiring than in public. S what des that mean fr yur rude Amazn reviews? 40 Or better yet, dn’t send them at all—unless yu truly intend them t be cnstructive.
A. Unfrtunately, we hate being criticized.
B. Send them t the authr directly, if yu dare.
C. We all have t give criticism frm time t time.
D. Once yu d it, yu can start t see criticism fr what it is.
E. We may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism itself.
F. It leads t lwer self-wrth, lwer psitive md and less cnfidence.
G. A way t master the skill is t frm new habits f getting and giving criticism.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The rbts are cming! In science fictin, it is usually a warning. In the real wrld, it is a welcme ne. The field f rbtics has made impressive prgress in the past year, thanks t the advances in artificial intelligence （AI）applied t machines. Rbts are becming mre capable, easier t prgram and able t explain what they are ding. Althugh human beings smetimes are afraid f them, the latest advances in rbtics will bring real and significant benefits.
One is that new “multimdal” AI mdels cmbine understanding f language and visin with data frm rbtic sensrs and actuatrs（执行器）. This makes it pssible t deal with rbts using rdinary wrds. Yu can ask a rbt what it is able t see r tell it t “pick up the yellw fruit”. Such mdels in effect give rbts a degree f cmmn sense—in this case, knwing that a nearby banana is a kind f yellw fruit.
Anther is that the new mdels enable rbts t explain the reasning behind their actins. That is useful when they behave in unexpected r unwelcme ways. S lng as rbts’ brains are nt mysterius black bxes, prgramming them is fairly easy. The rbts are safer and mre reliable because their understanding is grunded in bservatins f the wrld, and they aim t ensure that cgnitive（认知的）and physical reality match.
Additinally, rbts are getting better at learning quickly thrugh cpying and at generalizing frm ne skill t anther. This pens the dr fr rbts t mve ut f factries and warehuses. Labr markets acrss the rich wrld are tight—and getting tighter as scieties age. As well as increasing prductivity while wrk frces drp, mre capable rbts culd ck, clean, and care fr the aged and the needy.
Advanced ecnmies will need mre autmatin（自动化）if they are t maintain their standards f living. With ppulatins aging quickly, rbts can help peple avid wrking fr lnger perids and retiring later. In the cming years, attitudes culd well change frm fearing the arrival f rbts t wishing that they wuld get here sner.
