In a village lying between rolling hills, a young girl named Eliza always longed for an
adventure. She often gazed at the distant mountains, their peaks in mystery. One sunny morning,
she decided it was time to set out on her own journey.
With a backpack of supplies and her loyal dog, Rufus, by her side, Eliza started on her
adventure. The forest at the village’s edge beckoned. In response, she followed a trail into its depths.
The air was alive with the songs of birds, and the glinting sunlight danced through the leaves.
As the day wore on, Eliza encountered a babbling creek where a bridge crossed its waters.
With caution, she stepped on. Halfway across, the bridge groaned, threatening to give way.Eliza’s
heart raced as she stumbled to the other side, her heart pounding with fear. She continued deeper
into the forest, where she stumbled upon a hidden swamp (沼泽). Its lush grasses and wildflowers
swayed ( 摇 曳 ) in the breeze, inviting her to rest. Eliza and Rufus lay down, and she watched the
clouds drift by, their ever-changing shapes inspiring her imagination.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Eliza found herself at the base of the mysterious
mountains. Their towering peaks were now within reach, and her heart swelled with triumph.With
Rufus at her side, she knew that the greatest adventure of all was just beginning.
With a determined spirit and the promise of endless possibilities, Eliza set her sights on the
highest peak, knowing that the mountains held secrets, challenges, and wonders beyond her wildest

As we all know, insects can be remarkably agile (灵活的) 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 youcreate 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. Sometimes, bigger isn’t better.
28. What is the disadvantage of the conventional drones?
A. They cost too much. B. They can only fly indoors.
C. Their construction is unstable. D. They are too large to enter narrow spaces.
29. What is the function of the actuator designed by Chen?
A. To power the insect-sized drone. B. To make the new drone less flexible.
C. To make the new drone easily turn over. D. To shape the new drone into a dragonfly.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Safety standards of the new drone. B. Possible applications of the new drone.
C. Potential risks of the new drone. D. Design concept of the new drone.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. An Insect-like Small Drone
B. The Future of Insect-sized Drones
C. How Drones Will Change the Industry
D. What Problems Drone Development Are Facing
D
Denmark retired after practicing medicine for 73 years and then volunteered her services until
she couldn't anymore. She died at the age of 114.
I met her by phone when the pediatrician(儿科医生) couldn't figure out what was wrong with
my baby. On the phone, she talked with me for more than 30 minutes. I took her advice, and my
baby was better about 10days later. She never charged me.
“You keep on doing what you do best as long as you can,” she was famous for the words. And
it turned out her advice about actively helping others was as good as her medical advice.
Obviously,we can’t all live as long as Dr.Denmark. But recent research has shown that
volunteering provides a longevity boost similar to the effects of adding multiple servings of fruitsand vegetables to your daily diet. Specifically, older adults who volunteer are at 24 percent less risk
of early death. The positive impact of giving and volunteering on older people goes beyond that.
According to the research, adults over 55 who give their time for others have an easier time with
everyday tasks. Besides, volunteers experience 250 percent less cognitive decline leading to
dementia(痴呆).
According to a new study in the Journal of Happiness Studies, people who volunteer report
higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction. The study took it a second step and followed people
who began volunteering—monitoring their responses from the time they started volunteering. The
longer they volunteered and the more they volunteered, the greater level of happiness they reported.
You may already be volunteering your time. But if you’re not, consider the charities you
support. Think about the skills you might be able to offer them. You are likely to be glad about
what you do.
32. What can we infer about Denmark?
A. She retired at the age of 73.
B. She volunteered for 73 years.
C. She was patient and professional.
D. She once forget to charge the author.
33. How many benefits of volunteering are mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.
34. What does the author try to do in the last paragraph?
A. Seek support. B. Encourage people to volunteer.
C. Offer solutions. D. Advise about sharpening skills.
35. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The kindness of a doctor. B. The struggle of child-raising.
C. The process of being a volunteer. D. The benefits of volunteering.第二节（共5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）

多余选项。
Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when
you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to?
36
FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to
our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect
on our self-esteem (自尊).
While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to
have added fuel to the fire. 37 Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only
the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be
characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. So how do we avoid
being trapped into our own insecurities by social media?
Consider your own social media posts. 3 8 Well, so have others. And what they’ve left
hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of
everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out.
3 9 You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you
have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives.
Learn to shake it off. We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but
really, what does it matter? 40 And even if you are more easily affected than others by social
media envy, all you need to do is to look around you and acknowledge that you are doing pretty
well after all.
A. If so, you are not alone.
B. Value your friends in real life.
C. Learn to appreciate the positives.
D. Why does it have such a stimulating effect?
E. They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.
F. The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences.
G. Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life?第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分）

A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach,
Saskatchewan. I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year
before, I had lost my job with the provincial government, and now our financial situation was
grim. In despair, I had finally put the home on the market, and a real estate agent was due to
show up later that day. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬),
Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog
and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in despair, I sat typing up resumes and cover letters. Out of the corner of my eye I
could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big,
gentle nanny-dog, Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and
she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some
of my Christmas packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was
there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there,
looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the
doorbell by herself, was there? Perhaps, someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her
there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed I would welcome an
additional family member and take care of her.
Thinking of these, I couldn't help heaving a sigh and went straight back to work.
However, I hadn't typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking furiously and
running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open.
Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In panic, I opened the door and ran
outside.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para. 1 There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the
pool.

Dear Sir or Madam，
I am LiHua. I am writing to make a complaint about the book Gone with the Wind I
purchased in your online bookshop Landon .
I was very glad to receive it yesterday. However, when I opened the package, I was sorry
to find something wrong with it. Apart from the broken cover, to my displeasure , there are
some dirty spots on it due to the poor packaging. In addition, some pages are missing, which
makes it impossible to read.
Such is the reputation of your store that I suppose it’s no more than careless mistake. It
will be satisfying enough for you to change it for a new one and post it to me with all possible
speed. If this requirement can’t be met, the refund is acceptable to me. And I am confident
that you can live up to the expectation of your customer.
Yours
LiHua
读后续写 One possible version:
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool. Then
to my horror, I caught sight of Forrest's yellow sleeper. Brigitte was bravely doing her best to
keep him afloat by holding on to his sleeper with her mouth. At the same time, she was
desperately trying to swim to the shallow end. Only then did I realize that Forrest had
somehow opened the door, wandered out and fallen into the pool. In a split second, I dove in,
lifted my precious baby out and carried him inside. Hands shaking, I called 911 and we were
rushed to the hospital immediately, where the doctor kept him for observation for one night.
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital. Back
home, once Brigitte saw him, she barked with apparent joy and wouldn’t let Forrest out of her
sight. In time she settled down, but remained dedicated to Forrest and followed him
everywhere, concerned about his safety. Even when Forrest was asleep, Brigitte crammed
herself under the crib (婴儿床), keeping a vigil (守夜). Our dog was indeed an angel, erasing
any despair I might have had about losing our home. A house could always be replaced, but
knowing we had each other around was the greatest blessing of all. I was grateful she was part
of our lives, who I would never give up.
