I have always loved the Arthurian legend (传奇), as there is something quite special about King Arthur, and of
course Merlin, my favourite character from the stories.
Death of an Empire is the second volume in MK Hume’s “Merlin” series which details Merlin’s life from birth.
Merlin travels across the Roman Empire in search of his father, a voyage of discovery to understand just who he was.
Eventually Merlin gets involved in the fight against the Hun’s invasion (入侵) of Europe at the Battle of the
Catalaunian Plain.
Serving under the General Flavius Aetius, Merlin builds a reputation by saving the lives of thousands of soldiers.
When he finally reaches Rome, he saves many more. But a far deadlier conflict between Emperor Valentinian and
Senator Petronius Maximus is around the corner and Merlin must use all his strength to carry out his work.
If I had to choose just one word to describe this novel, there would be no other choice than “immersive (身临
其境的)”. There has clearly been a serious amount of research carried out by the author. Combined with the descriptive
prose and imaginative story, the book really does attract you from almost the very start. The story really does feel
like you are a part of it as Merlin travels across the Roman Empire.
The author does a great job of mixing the rich history with established Arthurian legend. The battle scene is
handled very effectively. The author employs a very effective form to show the main fight and this not only adds a
degree of tension and a good level of excitement but almost makes you feel like you are right there hearing aboutwhat happened.
Death of an Empire is a very fine novel, a wonderfully rich tale and a rewarding story.
24. Why does Merlin travel across the Roman Empire?
A. To visit King Arthur. B. To enjoy a nice view.
C. To get a well-paid job. D. To find out his origin.
25. What can we learn about the novel?
A. It is a mixture of history and legend.
.
B It features difficult language.
C. It speaks highly of an emperor.
D. It is a masterpiece of Merlin.
26. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. An effective description. B. A long-running battle.
C. A wonderful feeling. D. A well-known legend.
27. What is the text?
A. A news report. B. A history story.
.
C A book review. D. A science fiction.

As we all know, insects can be remarkably agile (灵活 ) in flight. This is really hard to build into flying
robots, but MIT Assistant Professor Kevin Yufeng Chen has developed an insect-sized drone (无人机) that approaches
insects’ agility.
Typically, drones require wide open spaces. “If we look at most drones today, they’re usually quite big,” says
Chen. “Most of their applications involve flying outdoors. The question is: Can you create an insect-sized drone that
can move around in very crowded and complex spaces?”
According to Chen, he overcame many problems when building the drone. The insect-sized drone requires a
fundamentally different construction from a larger one. The large drone is usually powered by a motor, but the motor
loses efficiency as you shrink it. So, Chen says, “For an insect-sized drone, you need to look for alternatives.” The
principal alternative until now has been employing a small, rigid actuator (执行器) built from new materials. Chen
designed a more agile tiny drone using soft actuators instead of hard ones.
Each actuator can beat nearly 500 times per second and weighs just 0.6 gram, approximately the mass of a large
bee. It gives the drone insect-like agility. “You can hit it when it’s flying, and it can recover,” says Chen. “It can also
turn over in the air.” The drone looks a bit like a tiny cassette tape with wings, though Chen is also working on a new
one shaped like a dragonfly.Chen says his drone can be useful in industry and agriculture. It can perform machinery inspections to ensure
safety and function. Its potential applications include completing search-and-rescue missions following a disaster.
“All those things can be very difficult for existing large-scale drones,” Chen explains.
28. What can we know about the actuator designed by Chen?
A. It weighs about six grams.
B. It drives the insect-sized drone.
C. It loses efficiency too much.
D. It employs conventional materials.
29. Which word can best describe Chen’s work?
A. Easy. B. Costly. C. Fruitless. D. Challenging.
30. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the new drone?
A. Its safety standards. B. Its flying range.
C. Its possible applications. D. Its design principle.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. An Insect-like Small Drone
B. The Future of Insect-sized Drones
C. How Drones Will Change the Agriculture
D. What Challenge Drone Development Faces
D
A new study finds that less than seven percent of the adult population in the US have what health experts consider
good cardiometabolic (心脏代谢) health.
Using information on roughly 55,000 people over the age of 20, the results show just 6.8 percent of American
adults reached optimal (最佳的) levels of health in 2018. Moreover, the study found American health has been in
sharp decline over the last 20 years. In 1999, one in three adults had a healthy weight. By 2018, that number fell to
just one in four Americans. At the same time, three in five people were free of diabetes in 1999. By 2018, however,
more than six in ten adults had the condition!
“These numbers are striking. It’s deeply problematic that in the United States, fewer than 1 in 15 adults have
optimal cardiometabolic health,” says Meghan O’Hearn, one of the researchers from Tufts University. “We need a
complete overhaul (革新) of our healthcare system, food system, and living conditions, because this is a crisis for
everyone.”
Instead of just looking for signs of disease, the team focused their study on the signs of good, moderate, and
poor cardiometabolic health. “Disease is not the only problem,” O’Hearn explains. “We don’t just want to be freeof disease. We want to achieve optimal health and well-being.”
Researchers also found large health gaps between US adults of different genders, ages, and education levels.
Specifically, the study found Americans with less education were half as likely to be in peak cardiometabolic
health.
O’Hearn adds, “Identifying these individuals and addressing their health conditions and lifestyle early is critical
to reducing growing healthcare burdens. Its impacts on national healthcare spending and the financial health of the
entire economy are enormous. And these conditions are largely preventable. We have the public health and clinical
interventions and policies to be able to address these problems.”
32. What percentage of American adults had optimal cardiometabolic health in 2018?
A. Over 7 percent. B. Just 6.8 percent.
C. Around 33 percent. D. About 60 percent.
33. What does O’Hearn think of the results of the study?
A. They’re unreal. B. They’re acceptable.
C. They’re expected. D. They’re shocking.
34. What is the purpose of the team’s research?
A. To find the big age gap. B. To help people keep fit.
C. To develop new drugs. D. To earn lots of profits.
35. What can we infer from O’Hearn’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Joint effort is needed to improve public health.
B. Economic growth affects personal health condition.
C. America saw a slow decrease in healthcare costs.
D. Rich people tend to suffer from health problems.

67. 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 came to know this unique individual in a very simple way. One afternoon, in the little town where I then lived, I
was walking my dog when he began to behave strangely, rolling wildly on the ground.
While I was wondering what was the matter with him, I became aware that someone was walking by my side
—a man of about 30, poorly dressed, collarless and hatless. A beggar, I thought, and was about to put my hand in my
pocket. But the stranger smiled peacefully at me as though we were old friends. “He’s got a tick (扁虱), poor guy,”
he said, pointing to my dog. “Come along. We’ll have it out.” There was such warm friendliness in his eyes that I
took no offense at his familiarity. I followed him to a park bench and sat down beside him.
Strange to say, my Kaspar, who was usually wary (警惕的) of strangers, responded at once, and put his head on
the man’s knee. Searching the dog’s coat with long and sensitive fingers, the stranger finally said “Aha!” and released
Kaspar. “Here it is,” he laughed, holding something in the air. As the dog ran hurriedly, the stranger rose with a nod
and walked on. His departure was so sudden that it did not occur to me until later that I should have thanked him.
At home, still considering the man s strange behaviour, I reported the adventure to our old cook. “Oh, that was
Anton,” she remarked. “He’s got an eye for everything.” I asked what he did for a living. “Nothing,” she said, as if
astonished by my question.“Well,” I said. “Everyone has to have something to live on.”
“Not Anton,” she said. “Everyone is glad to give him whatever he wants. He doesn’t care about money. He
doesn’t need it, either.” Well, this was strange.
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。
I resolved to learn more about him.
