Composer George Lam has always liked writing music inspired by places.
“There are all these places in Chinatown that are both hidden and meaningful” he says stepping out of the way of passers-by while leading a tour of the neighborhood. “To uncover some of those hidden things in a city walk that you might not ordinarily notice—l wondered. is there a piece in that?”
It turns out that there’s not just a piece but a whole app Lam interviewed five Chinese Americans from around the country; asking them about their experiences in Chinatown: plus questions about their ancestors. their families and their memories. He then set the answers to music the instruments drawing attention to each person’s distinct pattern of speech.
Lam created the app Family Association. He calls the piece—the free app—Family Association, after the important folk groups that line the streets of the neighborhood Chinese family associations have been a bridge between new immigrants and more established ones since the late 1800s. In Chinatowns across the country they’re a place to find resources or an apartment, talk business or polities, maybe get a COVID shot. But they’re also a place to socialize with people who share similar experiences.
Five of the neighborhood’s associations are anchors (锚点) for the app. Visitors use the build-in map to see locations of the associations. As they walk closer to one of the family association buildings, the focus is on one of the five oral history participants, telling their stories. These stories aren’t about the family associations instead they’re about the Chinese-American experience and how they’ve felt supported by Chinatown.
But Lam thinks of the app itself as a kind of virtual family association. connecting these Chinese-American voices with each other, even if they’ve never met. And he hopes to connect with visitors too—at the end of the soundwalk, users are given a chance to record their own memories.
4. How did Lam deal with the interviewees’ answers?
A. By setting them apart
B. By organizing them in order.
C. By adding music to them
D. By spreading them nationwide
5. What can we know from paragraph 4?
A. Chinatown plays a vital role in Chinese-Americans.
B. Lam named his app after the street of the neighbourhood.
C. All Chinese Americans lived in Chinatowns when firstly reaching America.
D. Chinese family associations have been a bridge of immigrants since 1800.
6. What are the participants’ stories about?

C To record his own memories
D. To connect with Chinese Americans
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】

But they’re also a place to socialize with people who share similar experiences.(Lam创建了“家庭协会”应用程序。他把这款免费应用叫做“家庭协会”，这个名字取自社区华人家庭协会街道上的重要民间团体，自19世纪末以来，这些团体一直是新移民和更成熟的移民之间的桥梁。在全国各地的唐人街，人们可以在那里寻找资源或公寓，谈论商业或政治，也许还可以打一针新冠病毒疫苗。但它们也是一个与有相似经历的人社交的地方。)”可知，唐人街在华裔美国人的心中以及生活中占据着及其重要的作用。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“These stories aren’t about the family associations instead they’re about the Chinese-American experience and how they’ve felt supported by Chinatown.(这些故事不是关于家庭关系，而是关于华裔美国人的经历，以及他们如何感受到唐人街对他们的支持。)”可知，这些故事讲述的是华裔美国人的经历。故选D。

When robots appear to engage with people and display human-like emotions, people may think of them as capable of “thinking”, or acting on their own beliefs and desires rather than their programs, according to the research published by the American Psychological Association.
“The relationship between human-like shape, human-like behavior and the tendency to owe independent thought and intentional behavior to robots is yet to be understood,” said study author Agnieszka Wykowska, PhD, a principal investigator at the Italian Institute of Technology. “As artificial intelligence increasingly becomes part of our lives, it is important to understand how interacting with a robot that displays human-like behaviors might cause higher likelihood of attribution of intentional agency to the robot.”
Across three experiments involving 119 participants, researchers examined how individuals would see a human-like robot, the iCub, after socializing with it and watching videos together. Before and after interacting with the robot, participants completed a questionnaire that showed them pictures of the robot in different situations and asked them to choose whether the robot’s motivation in each situation was mechanical or intentional.
The researchers found that participants who watched videos with the human-like robot were more likely to rate the robot’s actions as intentional, rather than programmed, while those who only interacted with the machine-like robot were not. This shows that mere expo-sure to a human-like robot is not enough to make people believe it is capable of thoughts and emotions. It is human-like behavior that might be crucial for being deemed as an intentional agent.
According to Wykowska, these findings show that people might be more likely to believe artificial intelligence is capable of independent thought when it creates the impression that it can behave just like humans. “This could inform the design of social robots of the future,” she said.
8. What were participants asked to do in the experiment?
A. Behave like a robot.
B. Complete a questionnaire.
C. Show pictures of the robot.
D. Watch the behavior of the iCub.
9. What does the underlined word “deemed” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Believed. B. Persuaded. C. Performed. D. Advocated.
10. What could the findings be applied to?
A. Addressing some technique problems.
B. Creating social robots just like humans.
C. Revealing artificial intelligence industry.
D. Guiding the design of future social robots.
11. What would be a suitable title for the text?
A. Human-like robots can interact with humans
B. Human-like robots can behave just like humans
C. Artificial intelligence has become part of our lives
D. Human-like robots may be believed to have mental states
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。有着类似人类行为的机器人是否有独立思考的能力，研究者们对此进行了实验，并得出了一定的可能性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Before and after interacting with the robot, participants completed a questionnaire that showed them pictures of the robot in different situations ”（在与机器人互动前后，参与者完成了一份向他们展示了机器人在不同情况下的照片的问卷。）可知，参加者在实验中被要求完成一份调查问卷。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“This shows that mere expo-sure to a human-like robot is not enough to make people believe it is capable of thoughts and emotions.”（这表明，仅仅同与人相似的机器人接触不足以让人们相信它有思想和情感。）和划线词所在句“It is human-like behavior that might be crucial for being deemed as an intentional agent.”（类似人类的行为可能是被信为有意行为的关键。）可知，划线词与上一句中“believe”意思相近。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““This could inform the design of social robots of the future,””（这可能为未来社交机器人的设计提供信息。）可知，研究结果可能被应用于对未来社交机器人设计的指导上。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“When robots appear to engage with people and display human-like emotions, people may think of them as capable of “thinking”, or acting on their own beliefs and desires rather than their programs,”（当机器人与人类互动，并表现出类似人类情感时，人们可能会认为它们能够“思考”，或根据自己的信念和欲望而不是程序行事）和最后一段“these findings show that people might be more likely to believe artificial intelligence is capable of independent thought when it creates the impression that it can behave just like humans.”（这些发现表明，当人工智能给人留下它可以像人类一样行动的印象时，人们可能更会相信它有独立思考的能力。）可知，本文主要讲述了类人机器人可能被认为是有精神状态的。故选D。
D
A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste, A team of Washington State University researchers developed a simple and efficient way to transform polyactic acid (PLA) (聚乳酸), a bio-based plastic used in products such as filament, plastic silverware and food packaging to high-quality resin.
“We found a way to immediately turn this into something that’s stronger and better, and we hope that will provide people with the inspiration to upcycle this stuff instead of just throw it away,” said Yu-Chung Chang, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering and a co-corresponding author on the work. “We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunity.”
Although it’s bio-based, PLA, which is categorized as a number 7 plastic, doesn’t bread down easily. It can float in fresh or salt water for a year without degrading (降解). It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when it’s melted down and re-formed, it doesn’t perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.
“It’s biodegradable and compostable, but once you look into it, it turns out that it can take up to 100 years for it to rot away in a landfill,” Chang said. “In reality, it still creates a lot of pollution. We want to make sure that when we do start producing PLA on the million-tons scale, we will know how to deal with it.”
While the researchers focused on PLA for the study, they hope to apply the work to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (涤纶树脂), which is more common than PLA and has a similar chemical structure and present a bigger waste problem. They have filed a temporary patent and are working further optimize (优化) the process. The researchers ane also looking into other applications for the upcycling method.
12 What can the method help do according to paragraph 1?
A. Solve financial crisis.
B. Change waste into wealth.
C. Control plastic production
D. Determine 3D printing skills
13. What does Yu-Chung Chang think of the method?
A. Promising B. Unrealistic
C. Imaginable D. Common
14. Which of the following is a feature of number 7 plastics?
A. Invaluable to recycle B. Easy to deal with
C. Hard to break down D. Difficult to sort out.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Applications for an upcycling method.
B. A better method to break down plastic
C. 3D printing with newly found materials
D. A new way to turn plastic into valuable products.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了华盛顿州立大学的一组研究人员开发了一种简单而有效的方法，将塑料垃圾中的聚乳酸(PLA)转化为高质量的树脂从而转化为用于3D打印的树脂。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste(一种将常见的丢弃塑料转化为用于3D打印的树脂的方法可以更好地利用塑料垃圾)”可知，该方法可以将平时丢弃的塑料垃圾转化为3D打印的树脂，即化废物为财富。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunity.(我们直接用垃圾做了更坚固的材料。我们相信这将是一个很好的机会。)”可知，Yu-Chung Chang认为这种方法是有前途的。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although it’s bio-based, PLA, which is categorized as a number 7 plastic, doesn’t bread down easily. It can float in fresh or salt water for a year without degrading (降解). It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when it’s melted down and re-formed, it doesn’t perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.(PLA虽然是生物基的，但被归类为7号塑料，不容易被腐蚀。它可以在淡水或盐水中漂浮一年而不降解。它也很少被回收，因为像许多塑料一样，当它被熔化和重新成型时，它的性能不如最初的版本，变得不那么有价值。)”可知，7号塑料很难被降解。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste(一种将常见的丢弃塑料转化为用于3D打印的树脂的方法可以更好地利用塑料垃圾)”以及通读全文可知，文章讲述了华盛顿州立大学的一组研究人员开发了一种简单而有效的方法，将塑料垃圾中的聚乳酸(PLA)转化为高质量从而转化为用于3D打印的树脂，因此文章主要是关于“一种将塑料转化为有价值产品的新方法”，故选D。

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
All over the world there are people who have achieved great things. Yet many of these people have done so with one amazing difference: They have physical disabilities. Take Jim Abbott for example, Jim succeeded ____36____ becoming a pitcher (投球手) for the USA 1988 Summer Olympics Team.
Jim Abbott was born without his right hand. He was a ____37____ (talent) athlete and wanted to be a baseball pitcher, even though being able to use two hands ____38____ (be) extremely important in playing baseball. A pitcher needs to throw the ball with one hand and wear a baseball glove on the other—something ____39____ Jim couldn’t do.
From the time he was four years old, Jim worked at ____40____ (overcome) this challenge. He practiced ____41____(rapid) moving the glove to his good hand after he had pitched the ball to his father. He was always forcing ____42____ (he) to get that glove faster and faster.
Jim Abbott made up his mind ____43____ (play). He loved the game ____44____ much that he invented his won method to help him do it with excellence. He went on to be a Major League pitcher for the New York Yankees, and today is an ____45____ (inspire) to young athletes everywhere.
【答案】36. in 37. talented
38. is 39. that
40. overcoming
41. rapidly
42. himself
43. to play
44. so 45. inspiration
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是美国棒球运动员Jim Abbott的相关信息。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：以Jim Abbott为例，Jim成功地成为了1988年夏季奥运会美国队的投手。succeed in是固定短语，意为“成功做某事”，因此空格处是介词in，故填in。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他是一个有天赋的运动员，想成为一名棒球投手，尽管能够使用两只手在打棒球中是非常重要的。空格处用形容词talented作定语，修饰名词athlete，talented意为“有天赋的”，故填talented。
【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：他是一个有天赋的运动员，想成为一名棒球投手，尽管能够使用两只手在打棒球中是非常重要的。even though引导的让步状语从句中主语是动名词短语being able to use two hands，其后谓语动词用单数，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，因此空格处是is，故填is。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：投手需要用一只手投球，另一只手戴上棒球手套——这是Jim做不到的。“Jim couldn’t do”是定语从句，从句中缺少宾语，先行词something是不定代词，关系代词只用that，故填that。
【40题详解】
考查动名词。句意：从四岁起，Jim就努力克服这一挑战。at介词，其后用动名词作宾语，故填overcoming。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：当他把球投给父亲后，他练习迅速地把手套移到他那只完好的手上。空格处用副词rapidly修饰动词practiced，故填rapidly。
【42题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：他总是强迫自己越拿越快。主语和宾语一致时，宾语要用反身代词，因此空格处是反身代词himself。故填himself。
【43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：Jim Abbott决定参加比赛。make up one’s mind to do是固定短语，意为“下定决心做某事”，故填to play。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：他如此热爱这项运动，以至于他发明了自己的获胜方法来帮助自己取得优异成绩。根据语境可知，句子表示“他如此热爱这项运动，以至于他发明了自己的获胜方法来帮助自己取得优异成绩”，so...that...是固定搭配，意为“如此……以至于……”，因此空格处是so，修饰副词much。故填so。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：后来，他成为纽约扬基队的大联盟投手，如今，他激励着世界各地的年轻运动员。an后跟名词的单数形式，inspire的名词是inspiration，意为“鼓舞人心的人（或事物）”，故填inspiration。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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 especially like a poem I learned in kindergarten. Although it has been more than 40 years, I still often recite it.
My Teacher Mr. Moore
There’s a teacher Mr. Moore.
Who is lovely and thirty-four.
Always encouraging us to try.
He leads us to a world of “why”.
We all admire him more and more.
The author of this poem is unknown but it reminds me of the countless teachers who have taught me. Whenever I read this poem, I couldn’t help thinking of my math teacher, Mrs. Davies. I firmly believe that she was such a teacher described in the poem.
In high school, Mrs. Davies was my math. teacher, who took her job seriously and expected her students to put forth the same degree of commitment. Though she was 30, she looked very young for her age. And she was one of the most popular teachers in our school.
Compared with other teachers, Mrs. Davies paid more attention to her way of teaching. She tried various ways to make her classes lively and interesting.
Strict but fair, she held our attention with her time-proven approach. One of her classes was for students who were more advanced academically. I chose to take it and soon realized that the course was a bit over my head. I struggled with the complex problems that others seemed to learn without much effort.
One Friday we were tested on our ability to use a theorem(定理) that no one in the class thoroughly understood. The teacher should grade our papers based on our ability to progress through the problem. I was absolutely lost. Finally, I didn’t use the required theorem. Instead, I decided to use more familiar theorems to arrive at the answer. I knew I had failed because I hadn’t done the required assignment. I became resigned to my fate.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答
Our test papers were handed back the following Monday.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Though I didn’t use the required theorem, Mrs. Davies seemed genuinely proud of me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Our test papers were handed back the following Monday. Everyone received a “C” except me. To my surprise, I received an “A”. I assumed that there must be a mistake. I watched nervously as the teacher approached my desk, smiled, and asked for my test paper back. She then went back to copy my work onto the blackboard, showing the class how I had arrived at the correct answer. ”Mathematics is meant to be a creative tool, pushing our minds to a rewarding answer," she said with confidence.
Though I didn’t use the required theorem, Mrs. Davies seemed genuinely proud of me. The class saw her fold my test paper and put it into her textbook. She announced that it would be shared with future classes. My teacher should have been justified in giving me a failing grade. Instead, she used the opportunity to deeply influence a student who often struggled. And after forty years, I still cherish the memory. It helped change my self-image. I opened up to a broad boundary of possibilities which had made my life an adventure. She understood that teaching went beyond strict demands and could be used to inspire. Thank you, Mrs. Davies.

Composer George Lam has always liked writing music inspired by places.
“There are all these places in Chinatown that are both hidden and meaningful” he says stepping out of the way of passers-by while leading a tour of the neighborhood. “To uncover some of those hidden things in a city walk that you might not ordinarily notice—l wondered. is there a piece in that?”
It turns out that there’s not just a piece but a whole app Lam interviewed five Chinese Americans from around the country; asking them about their experiences in Chinatown: plus questions about their ancestors. their families and their memories. He then set the answers to music the instruments drawing attention to each person’s distinct pattern of speech.
Lam created the app Family Association. He calls the piece—the free app—Family Association, after the important folk groups that line the streets of the neighborhood Chinese family associations have been a bridge between new immigrants and more established ones since the late 1800s. In Chinatowns across the country they’re a place to find resources or an apartment, talk business or polities, maybe get a COVID shot. But they’re also a place to socialize with people who share similar experiences.
Five of the neighborhood’s associations are anchors (锚点) for the app. Visitors use the build-in map to see locations of the associations. As they walk closer to one of the family association buildings, the focus is on one of the five oral history participants, telling their stories. These stories aren’t about the family associations instead they’re about the Chinese-American experience and how they’ve felt supported by Chinatown.
But Lam thinks of the app itself as a kind of virtual family association. connecting these Chinese-American voices with each other, even if they’ve never met. And he hopes to connect with visitors too—at the end of the soundwalk, users are given a chance to record their own memories.
4. How did Lam deal with the interviewees’ answers?
A. By setting them apart
B. By organizing them in order.
C. By adding music to them
D. By spreading them nationwide
5. What can we know from paragraph 4?
A. Chinatown plays a vital role in Chinese-Americans.
B. Lam named his app after the street of the neighbourhood.
C. All Chinese Americans lived in Chinatowns when firstly reaching America.
D. Chinese family associations have been a bridge of immigrants since 1800.
6. What are the participants’ stories about?
A. When they came to Chinatowns.
B. Why they chose to stay in Chinatowns.
C. How they’ve felt supported from China.
D. What they experienced as Chinese Americans
7. What is Lam’s expectation?
A. To promote his new app
B. To associate with visitors
C To record his own memories
D. To connect with Chinese Americans
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了George Lam开发的一款名为“家庭协会”的应用程序。该程序将华裔美国人的声音联系起来。
【4题详解】

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Lam created the app Family Association. He calls the piece—the free app—Family Association, after the important folk groups that line the streets of the neighborhood Chinese family associations have been a bridge between new immigrants and more established ones since the late 1800s. In Chinatowns across the country they’re a place to find resources or an apartment, talk business or polities, maybe get a COVID shot. But they’re also a place to socialize with people who share similar experiences.(Lam创建了“家庭协会”应用程序。他把这款免费应用叫做“家庭协会”，这个名字取自社区华人家庭协会街道上的重要民间团体，自19世纪末以来，这些团体一直是新移民和更成熟的移民之间的桥梁。在全国各地的唐人街，人们可以在那里寻找资源或公寓，谈论商业或政治，也许还可以打一针新冠病毒疫苗。但它们也是一个与有相似经历的人社交的地方。)”可知，唐人街在华裔美国人的心中以及生活中占据着及其重要的作用。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“These stories aren’t about the family associations instead they’re about the Chinese-American experience and how they’ve felt supported by Chinatown.(这些故事不是关于家庭关系，而是关于华裔美国人的经历，以及他们如何感受到唐人街对他们的支持。)”可知，这些故事讲述的是华裔美国人的经历。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“And he hopes to connect with visitors too—at the end of the soundwalk, users are given a chance to record their own memories.(同时，他也希望能与游客建立联系——在声音漫步的最后，用户有机会记录下自己的记忆。)”可知，Lam希望能够和游客建立联系。故选B。
C
When robots appear to engage with people and display human-like emotions, people may think of them as capable of “thinking”, or acting on their own beliefs and desires rather than their programs, according to the research published by the American Psychological Association.
“The relationship between human-like shape, human-like behavior and the tendency to owe independent thought and intentional behavior to robots is yet to be understood,” said study author Agnieszka Wykowska, PhD, a principal investigator at the Italian Institute of Technology. “As artificial intelligence increasingly becomes part of our lives, it is important to understand how interacting with a robot that displays human-like behaviors might cause higher likelihood of attribution of intentional agency to the robot.”
Across three experiments involving 119 participants, researchers examined how individuals would see a human-like robot, the iCub, after socializing with it and watching videos together. Before and after interacting with the robot, participants completed a questionnaire that showed them pictures of the robot in different situations and asked them to choose whether the robot’s motivation in each situation was mechanical or intentional.
The researchers found that participants who watched videos with the human-like robot were more likely to rate the robot’s actions as intentional, rather than programmed, while those who only interacted with the machine-like robot were not. This shows that mere expo-sure to a human-like robot is not enough to make people believe it is capable of thoughts and emotions. It is human-like behavior that might be crucial for being deemed as an intentional agent.
According to Wykowska, these findings show that people might be more likely to believe artificial intelligence is capable of independent thought when it creates the impression that it can behave just like humans. “This could inform the design of social robots of the future,” she said.
8. What were participants asked to do in the experiment?
A. Behave like a robot.
B. Complete a questionnaire.
C. Show pictures of the robot.

A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste, A team of Washington State University researchers developed a simple and efficient way to transform polyactic acid (PLA) (聚乳酸), a bio-based plastic used in products such as filament, plastic silverware and food packaging to high-quality resin.
“We found a way to immediately turn this into something that’s stronger and better, and we hope that will provide people with the inspiration to upcycle this stuff instead of just throw it away,” said Yu-Chung Chang, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering and a co-corresponding author on the work. “We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunity.”
Although it’s bio-based, PLA, which is categorized as a number 7 plastic, doesn’t bread down easily. It can float in fresh or salt water for a year without degrading (降解). It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when it’s melted down and re-formed, it doesn’t perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.
“It’s biodegradable and compostable, but once you look into it, it turns out that it can take up to 100 years for it to rot away in a landfill,” Chang said. “In reality, it still creates a lot of pollution. We want to make sure that when we do start producing PLA on the million-tons scale, we will know how to deal with it.”
While the researchers focused on PLA for the study, they hope to apply the work to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (涤纶树脂), which is more common than PLA and has a similar chemical structure and present a bigger waste problem. They have filed a temporary patent and are working further optimize (优化) the process. The researchers ane also looking into other applications for the upcycling method.
12 What can the method help do according to paragraph 1?
A. Solve financial crisis.
B. Change waste into wealth.
C. Control plastic production
D. Determine 3D printing skills
13. What does Yu-Chung Chang think of the method?
A. Promising B. Unrealistic
C. Imaginable D. Common
14. Which of the following is a feature of number 7 plastics?
A. Invaluable to recycle B. Easy to deal with
C. Hard to break down D. Difficult to sort out.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Applications for an upcycling method.
B. A better method to break down plastic
C. 3D printing with newly found materials
D. A new way to turn plastic into valuable products.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了华盛顿州立大学的一组研究人员开发了一种简单而有效的方法，将塑料垃圾中的聚乳酸(PLA)转化为高质量的树脂从而转化为用于3D打印的树脂。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste(一种将常见的丢弃塑料转化为用于3D打印的树脂的方法可以更好地利用塑料垃圾)”可知，该方法可以将平时丢弃的塑料垃圾转化为3D打印的树脂，即化废物为财富。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunity.(我们直接用垃圾做了更坚固的材料。我们相信这将是一个很好的机会。)”可知，Yu-Chung Chang认为这种方法是有前途的。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although it’s bio-based, PLA, which is categorized as a number 7 plastic, doesn’t bread down easily. It can float in fresh or salt water for a year without degrading (降解). It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when it’s melted down and re-formed, it doesn’t perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.(PLA虽然是生物基的，但被归类为7号塑料，不容易被腐蚀。它可以在淡水或盐水中漂浮一年而不降解。它也很少被回收，因为像许多塑料一样，当它被熔化和重新成型时，它的性能不如最初的版本，变得不那么有价值。)”可知，7号塑料很难被降解。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste(一种将常见的丢弃塑料转化为用于3D打印的树脂的方法可以更好地利用塑料垃圾)”以及通读全文可知，文章讲述了华盛顿州立大学的一组研究人员开发了一种简单而有效的方法，将塑料垃圾中的聚乳酸(PLA)转化为高质量从而转化为用于3D打印的树脂，因此文章主要是关于“一种将塑料转化为有价值产品的新方法”，故选D。

All over the world there are people who have achieved great things. Yet many of these people have done so with one amazing difference: They have physical disabilities. Take Jim Abbott for example, Jim succeeded ____36____ becoming a pitcher (投球手) for the USA 1988 Summer Olympics Team.
Jim Abbott was born without his right hand. He was a ____37____ (talent) athlete and wanted to be a baseball pitcher, even though being able to use two hands ____38____ (be) extremely important in playing baseball.

From the time he was four years old, Jim worked at ____40____ (overcome) this challenge. He practiced ____41____(rapid) moving the glove to his good hand after he had pitched the ball to his father. He was always forcing ____42____ (he) to get that glove faster and faster.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是美国棒球运动员Jim Abbott的相关信息。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：以Jim Abbott为例，Jim成功地成为了1988年夏季奥运会美国队的投手。succeed in是固定短语，意为“成功做某事”，因此空格处是介词in，故填in。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他是一个有天赋的运动员，想成为一名棒球投手，尽管能够使用两只手在打棒球中是非常重要的。空格处用形容词talented作定语，修饰名词athlete，talented意为“有天赋的”，故填talented。

考查时态和主谓一致。句意：他是一个有天赋的运动员，想成为一名棒球投手，尽管能够使用两只手在打棒球中是非常重要的。even though引导的让步状语从句中主语是动名词短语being able to use two hands，其后谓语动词用单数，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，因此空格处是is，故填is。

【42题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：他总是强迫自己越拿越快。主语和宾语一致时，宾语要用反身代词，因此空格处是反身代词himself。故填himself。
【43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：Jim Abbott决定参加比赛。make up one’s mind to do是固定短语，意为“下定决心做某事”，故填to play。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：他如此热爱这项运动，以至于他发明了自己的获胜方法来帮助自己取得优异成绩。根据语境可知，句子表示“他如此热爱这项运动，以至于他发明了自己的获胜方法来帮助自己取得优异成绩”，so...that...是固定搭配，意为“如此……以至于……”，因此空格处是so，修饰副词much。故填so。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：后来，他成为纽约扬基队的大联盟投手，如今，他激励着世界各地的年轻运动员。an后跟名词的单数形式，inspire的名词是inspiration，意为“鼓舞人心的人（或事物）”，故填inspiration。

47. 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 especially like a poem I learned in kindergarten. Although it has been more than 40 years, I still often recite it.
My Teacher Mr. Moore
There’s a teacher Mr. Moore.
Who is lovely and thirty-four.
Always encouraging us to try.
He leads us to a world of “why”.
We all admire him more and more.
The author of this poem is unknown but it reminds me of the countless teachers who have taught me. Whenever I read this poem, I couldn’t help thinking of my math teacher, Mrs. Davies. I firmly believe that she was such a teacher described in the poem.
In high school, Mrs. Davies was my math. teacher, who took her job seriously and expected her students to put forth the same degree of commitment. Though she was 30, she looked very young for her age. And she was one of the most popular teachers in our school.
Compared with other teachers, Mrs. Davies paid more attention to her way of teaching. She tried various ways to make her classes lively and interesting.
Strict but fair, she held our attention with her time-proven approach. One of her classes was for students who were more advanced academically. I chose to take it and soon realized that the course was a bit over my head. I struggled with the complex problems that others seemed to learn without much effort.
One Friday we were tested on our ability to use a theorem(定理) that no one in the class thoroughly understood. The teacher should grade our papers based on our ability to progress through the problem. I was absolutely lost. Finally, I didn’t use the required theorem. Instead, I decided to use more familiar theorems to arrive at the answer. I knew I had failed because I hadn’t done the required assignment. I became resigned to my fate.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答
Our test papers were handed back the following Monday.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Though I didn’t use the required theorem, Mrs. Davies seemed genuinely proud of me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Our test papers were handed back the following Monday. Everyone received a “C” except me. To my surprise, I received an “A”. I assumed that there must be a mistake. I watched nervously as the teacher approached my desk, smiled, and asked for my test paper back. She then went back to copy my work onto the blackboard, showing the class how I had arrived at the correct answer. ”Mathematics is meant to be a creative tool, pushing our minds to a rewarding answer," she said with confidence.
Though I didn’t use the required theorem, Mrs. Davies seemed genuinely proud of me. The class saw her fold my test paper and put it into her textbook. She announced that it would be shared with future classes. My teacher should have been justified in giving me a failing grade. Instead, she used the opportunity to deeply influence a student who often struggled. And after forty years, I still cherish the memory. It helped change my self-image. I opened up to a broad boundary of possibilities which had made my life an adventure. She understood that teaching went beyond strict demands and could be used to inspire. Thank you, Mrs. Davies.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。每当作者听到自己在幼儿园学到的赞扬老师的诗《我的老师穆尔先生》的时候，作者都会想起自己的高中数学老师——戴维斯老师。她对待自己的工作很认真，是我们学校最受欢迎的老师之一。她注重教学方法、尝试了各种方法使她的课生动有趣。她严格但公正。作者选了她的一门课，在一次测试时，作者解答试题时使用了自己更熟悉的定理来得到答案，而未使用题目要求应用的定理来解答。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我们的试卷在接下来的星期一被退回。”可知，第一段可描写作者拿到自己的试卷后，在看到成绩的那一刻作者震惊了。虽说自己未按照要求的定理解答，但同样得到了老师的认可。
②由第二段首句内容“虽然我没有使用必要的定理，戴维斯老师似乎真的为我感到骄傲。”可知，第二段可描写戴维斯老师决定把我的试卷和班级其他同学一起分享，给我留下了深刻的印象。
