I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy
and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for
the film－it wanted somebody as well-known as Paul－he stood up for me. I don’t know how
many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio
powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four
years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came
from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft and focused on digging into
the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical
of American actors: humorous, aggressive，and making fun of each other－but always with an
underlying affection. Those were also at the core of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put
3
学科网（北京）股份有限公司something back －he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids
who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t
see each other all that regularly, but sharing tha t brought us together. We supported each other
financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both
knew what the deal was，and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a
lot of words.
24．Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?
A．Paul Newman wanted it. B．The studio powers didn’t like his agent.
C．He wasn’t famous enough. D．The director recommended someone else.
25．Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?
A．They were of the same age. B．They worked in the same theater.
C．They were both good actors. D．They had similar characteristics.
26．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Their belief. B．Their care for children.
C．Their success. D．Their support for each other.
27．What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?
A．To show his love of films. B．To remember a friend.
C．To introduce a new movie. D．To share his acting experience.

Imagine if there were a robotic fish that filtered microplastic out of the water as it
swam.Well, now there is one, and it's the physical version of the winning concept in the first-
ever Natural Robotics Contest.
Announced this May, the University of Surrey's Natural Robots Contest invited members of
the public to submit their ideas for animal-or plant-inspired robots capable of performing
activities that would help the world.
Plans called for experts from various British and European research institutes to select what
they thought was the best concept, which would subsequently be made into a functional type.
Engineers would proceed to further develop the technology.
The winning entry turned out to be the plastic-collecting Robo-fish, designed by chemistry
undergrad Eleanor Mackintosh— who is a University of Surrey student. Mackintosh said,
“Fish's gills are an incredible mechanism in nature that are specialized to filter oxygen into the
bloodstream-so I adapted my design from that, with the purpose of addressing the plastic
pollution in the water.”
The robot swims by moving its tail, holding its mouth wide open to collect water and
microplastics in an internal cavity (腔) as it does so. Once that cavity is full, the robot closes
its mouth, opens its gill flaps (鳃瓣) , and pushes the water out through those flaps by raising
the floor of the cavity. A fine net attached to the gill flaps allows the water to pass through,
but captures the microplastic.
In its current physical form, the 50-cm-long Robo-fish collects microplastic as small as
4
学科网（北京）股份有限公司2millimeters. It also sports onboard sensors to monitor underwater environment, plus it uses an
IMU (inertial measurement unit) to track its movements within the water.
That said future style could capture much smaller particles. Other possible improvements
include a faster, more hydrodynamic body shape, a more powerful tail, and the ability to swim
autonomously— the current type works by hard-wired remote control.
28. How do the participants attend the Natural Robotics Contest?
A. By proposing the concepts of robots. B. By selecting the best concept of
robots.
C. By developing the technology of robots. D. By making the physical version of
robots.
29. What inspired Mackintosh to design the robot?
A. The body shape of the fish. B. The function of fish's gills.
C. The enthusiasm for robots. D. The plastic pollution in the water.
30. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 5?
A. How the robotic fish filters microplastics. B. How the robotic fish is further
improved.
C. Why Mackintosh's robot won the contest. D. What materials the robotic fish is
made of.
31. What is the best title of the text?
A. The first bio-inspired robotics contest B. The one-size-fits-all solution to plastics
C. An autonomously operating robotic fish D. A student-designed plastic-collecting
fish

Schools need to give students all the tools they need to navigate the world when they
graduate. Besides teaching the basics of reading, writing, and arithmatic, teaching about
mindfullness, and mental health are important life skills for young people to have. The state of
Florida agrees.
Now, public schools in Florida have been required to teach five or more hours about mental
health for students in grades 6-12. This new directive was approved by the Florida Board of
Education in July and is being carried out as a potential lifesaver.
The new curriculum requires students to learn about the symptoms of mental illness and
where to find help if they are feeling depressed or have other issues and even teaches the
adolescents how to help their friends and classmates if they see them struggling.
“We know that 50 percent of all mental illness cases begin by age 14, so we are being
active in our commitment to provide our kids with the necessary tools to see them through their
successes and challenges. Providing mental health instruction is another important step forward in
supporting our families,” Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said.
Florida is the third state, following New York and Virginia in 2020, to pass laws that
require mental health education in schools. According to CNN, the New York law updated the
health curriculum to include mental health for elementary, middle and high school students. The
Virginia law required that mental health education be provided for 9th and 10th graders.
These three states in the US are taking bold steps to help youth deal with the intricacy of
5
学科网（北京）股份有限公司life as they grow from adolescents into adults. It is a confusing world they face and giving
them the tools to navigate it safely is essential. Mental health is something that should be taught
in schools in all the US and across the globe.
32. What can the new curriculum bring students?
A. Basic professional skills. B. The ability to use language.
C. Emotional management skills. D. Diagnosis of
physical diseases.
33. What does Richard Corcoran intend to stress in paragraph 4?
A. The effect of mental illness cases.
B. The content of the health curriculum.
C. The step of mental health instruction.
D. The importance of mental health education.
34. What does the underlined word “intricacy” mean in paragraph 6?
A. Complexity. B. Purpose. C. Contribution. D. Significance.
35. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A technology report. B. A natural science magazine.
C. An educational website. D. A government document.

Perseverance: The Key to Success
Perseverance is a vital trait to possess in order to achieve success in any aspect of life.
36 Perseverance involves the ability to face challenges, overcome obstacles, and push through
adversity, no matter how difficult it may seem.
One perspective on perseverance is that it is the ability to maintain focus and determination
in the face of setbacks. 3 7 The successful people are the ones who keep moving forward in
face of adversity. They understand that success often comes after repeated failure.

that individuals who possess perseverance are open to new challenges and are not afraid to fail.

pushing forward despite setbacks.
39 It also involves having the discipline to do so. This means staying committed to a
goal and putting in the necessary time and effort, even when it is not easy. Successful people
understand that in order to achieve greatness, sacrifices must be made and hard work must be
put in consistently over time.
In conclusion, perseverance is an essential quality to possess in order to achieve the goals
we set for ourselves. It involves the ability to persist in the face of adversity, maintain focus

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 recently had a challenging time working on a group project. My teacher put me with three people
who weren’t all that excited about getting any work done.
Our assignment was to pick one of the 50 states and make a brochure about it. “Let’s pick Hawaii!”
said Emma, “Hawaii has super-cute swimsuits” “True!” Agreed Angela, “Speaking of swimsuits, there are
some get-ready-for-summer sales happening now.” “Really? Maybe my mother will take me shopping this
weekend,” said Emma.
I turned to Bernard, “Which state do you think we should pick?” He shrugged (耸肩), “I
don’t care. But what happened to your hair, Jessica? It looks like caught in a blender!”
No one in my group seemed very eager to talk about our project, so I went ahead and shared
interesting facts I knew about Hawaiian food and culture. When I was done, no one responded, so I pulled
out my notebook. I asked Emma to search for pictures of Hawaiian sea life. But she said she was busy and
asked if her picture at a Hawaii hotel pool would do. I requested Angela and Bernard to find Hawaiian
8
学科网（北京）股份有限公司historical information and geography respectively. It turned out they all had their own business. I was
getting the impression that none but me planned to work on the brochure.
Later that day, as I set the table for dinner, my mom could tell I was stressed-out. “What’s going on?”
she asked. I told her what happened and sighed, “So I guess the only way to get the brochure done is for
me to do it myself.”
“Well,” my mom said with a smile, “when it comes to homework, they don’t necessarily do things
you order. Second, I doubt if you’re responsible for everyone else’s part. Why don’t you check in with your
teacher about it?”
When I talked to my teacher the next day, he explained he would grade the assignment partly on the
finished brochure but mostly on our individual work, which made me much less worried.
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。
Paragraph 1
At our next group meeting, I tried to bring up my concerns in a friendly way.
Paragraph 2
Finally, we were amazed to receive the grade for our group project.
