Zero Robotics: Coding for Space Exploration
What Is Zero Robotics?
Founded in 2009 by MIT’s Space Systems Laboratory and astronaut Greg Chamitoff, Zero
Robotics is a free-of-charge coding (编程) competition. Students get the extraordinary chance to
program SPHERES satellites aboard the ISS. Teams start by taking on annual challenges in virtual
simulations. The best teams then enter a thrilling live final on the ISS, with an astronaut in charge
of the action.

Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that
does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in
communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak
entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even
outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss.
As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles.
However, she couldn’t say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a
doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time,
the family was given some extremely negative news. “My parents were told that I would be lucky
to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help,
Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with
her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends.
Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the
University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida.Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she
studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism.
However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a
lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also
published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those
original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role
model for others with autism.
24．What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1?
A．It affects people in different ways. B．It leads to the loss of speech function.
C．It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D．It prevents people from leading successful
lives.
25．What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor?
A．Haley would never learn to speak. B．Haley would struggle with puzzles.
C．Haley would fail to graduate from school. D．Haley might not have friends or hold a
basic job.
26．Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist?
A．She thought psychology too difficult to learn.
B．She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer.
C．She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer.
D．She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests.
27．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss.
B．Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism.
C．Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges.
D．Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History.

Concrete (混凝土) is the world’s most used material after water. Because it already
surrounds us in the built environment, researchers have been exploring the idea of using
concrete to store electricity — turning buildings into giant batteries. The idea has been gaining
ground as we have come to increasingly rely on renewable energy from the wind and sun:
rechargeable batteries are necessary when the wind dies down or darkness falls.Experimental concrete batteries have only managed to hold a small part of what a
traditional battery does. But one team now reports that it has developed a rechargeable original
model that could represent a more than 10 times increase in stored charge, compared with
earlier attempts.
A live-in concrete battery might sound unlikely. Still, “you can make a battery out of a
potato,” notes Aimee Bynne. In a future where sustainability is key, she likes the idea of buildings
that avoid waste by providing shelter and powering electronics.
According to Emma, the study co-author, although the new design stores more than 10
times as much power as earlier attempts: 200 square meters of it “can provide about 8 percent of
the daily electricity consumption of a typical U. S. home”, this is not enough to compete with
today’s rechargeable devices. “We’re getting milliamps out of concrete batteries — we’re not
getting amps (安培),” Bynne, a structural engineer at Technological University Dublin, says, “we’re
getting hours rather than days of charge.” But she adds that “concrete batteries are completely in
their childhood, compared to other battery designs”.
The earliest batteries were large and heavy. Researchers experimented with new materials
and designs for more than a century to develop today’s small devices. Bynne suggests concrete-
based energy storage could undergo a similar evolution. “The whole idea is that we’re looking far
into the future,” she says, “we’re playing the long game with it.”
28．Why have researchers been exploring the use of concrete?
A．Because concrete is far lighter.
B．Because concrete is widely present.
C．Because concrete is much cheaper.
D．Because concrete can be easily transported.
29．What does Bynne want to show by mentioning the potato?
A．Only food-related materials can be made into batteries.
B．Potato batteries are more efficient than concrete batteries.
C．Potatoes are the most commonly-used material for batteries.
D．Materials that seem ordinary can be used for battery-making.
30．What is the property of the new concrete battery?
A．It can power a U. S. home for days.
B．It produces large amps of electricity.C．It stores over 10 times more charge than before.
D．It is as efficient as traditional batteries.
31．What does Bynne think of concrete batteries?
A．They need more advancement. B．They require simple technology.
C．They can beat modern batteries. D．They have a narrow application.

Vacations are being redefined to improve your wellness experiences. The new buzzword is
“sleep tourism” and the focus is on ensuring that you rest well at night and actually return from
your vacation feeling refreshed.
When away, vacationers traditionally like to make use of every second of the day. They
rush from site to site, eat meals at all hours of the day, and treat themselves at night. And when
finally returning to their hotel rooms at night, they find it hard to sleep. Besides, downtown
hotels may be centrally located, with noisy traffic and flashing city lights pervading (弥漫). Also,
many people simply do not sleep well when away from their own beds. All these factors lead to
pain, allergies and hormonal issues, making sleep challenging.
“Sleep tourism” addresses these issues and more. Special sleep suites have been
thoughtfully designed to offer quiet and darkness. Hotels are investing in artificial intelligence
mattresses (床垫) that adjust temperature and have cushions to relieve pressure points. The
mattresses can also track sleep statistics and offer vacationers feedback on their sleep patterns.
Sleep suites are a huge advance in tourism and are now found in wellness hotels around
the world. Each offers different ways of inducing sleep, according to Condé Nast Traveler. Many
provide a menu of relaxing teas and a tailored bed. No matter which sleep suite you choose, the
goal is to sleep well so you can improve your health and well-being. Sinking into a comfortable
bed should be the best part of a trip!
The hope is that more hotels adapt to this wellness trend and return to the original
purpose of a hotel room, which is sleep! Now you can tour around by day and have sweet dreams
by night.
32．According to the text, what is the new trend in vacationing?
A．Partying all night. B．Eating at special hours.
C．Sleeping well on holiday. D．Rushing from site to site.
33．How do sleep suites improve the sleep experience for guests?A．By serving a wide variety of food.
B．By introducing mattresses with AI technology.
C．By offering in-room entertainment systems.
D．By ensuring complete darkness in the rooms.
34．The underlined word “inducing” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A．promoting. B．preventing. C．causing. D．affecting.
35．What can we infer about the future of hotels from the passage?
A．All hotels will have artificial intelligence mattresses.
B．Traditional hotels will disappear because of “sleep tourism”.
C．More hotels will focus on providing better sleep experiences.
D．Downtown hotels will move to quieter areas to avoid traffic noise.

There’s an autumn day that I recall (回想) every time I find myself caught up in the rush of
life.
One sunny afternoon, feeling 41 about the upcoming college applications, I
42 to take a break from my studies. I headed outside to my backyard garden where I began
to weed (除草) 43 , my annoyance and depression (沮丧) pouring into each 44
pull of unwanted greenery. Mr. Jensen, a quiet man in his seventies living next door, was in his
garden as usual, 45 his roses.
Seeing my depression, he walked over and 46 started weeding alongside me.
After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally 47 .
“You know,” he began, “ 48 a garden is a lot like going through life.”
A little puzzled, I 49 and looked at him. He continued, “Sometimes, we 50
the weeds — the problems and difficulties — so much that we forget to enjoy the 51 .”
He gestured to the beautiful roses in his garden, their bright colors shining in the afternoon sun.
“Don’t forget to 52 the roses, even as you deal with the weeds.”
That simple 53 hit me hard. I had been so focused on the 54 of my

There is nothing worse than being sweaty on a hot summer day, but at least we’re able to
escape into air conditioned buildings these days. In the past, people in China weren’t so lucky.
Historical 56 (account) show that 11,400 people died in Beijing in the summer of
1743, as temperatures went up to over 44 degrees Celsius for dozens of days on end. Given the
danger of hot temperature, ancient Chinese thought it was best 57 (rest) during the
hottest days. Even prisoners 58 (sentence) to death were reprieved (缓刑) until after
the summer months. Staying cool was clearly 59 serious matter in ancient China, but
60 (lucky) they had some ways to avoid the worst of the heat.
A painting from the sixth century named Proofreading in the Northern Qi Dynasty (《北齐
校书图》) by artist Yang Zihua shows scribes (经师) 61 (wear) loose-fitting robes as
they worked. In 1972, archaeologists 62 (unearth) a silk rope weighing just 95 grams
from the Western Han dynasty in the Mawangdui Han Tombs. The thin yet durable dress was
known as susha danyi (素纱禅衣), or “plain silk single robe.” The dress was named 63
its plain color and the fact it could be worn with no other clothing.However, the silk robes of scholars and officials were not 64 (afford) to most

67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was an unusual exam that later shaped my whole life.
To prepare for it, I abandoned almost all my after-school activities. For three months, I
studied from six in the morning until well into the night every day. Still, however hard I tried, a
constant feeling of anxiety never went away, and it followed me into the exam room. It was the
first challenge that knocked me down.
It was a French exam, and my seat number was 30, which meant I would be the last to
receive the paper. The second challenge greeted me: I wasn’t very good at French and read more
slowly than most other students, so I worried I wouldn’t have enough time to preview all the
listening comprehension questions before the test began.
Although I had been told there would be two teachers, my heart still skipped a beat when I
saw them on exam day. The female teacher seemed very cautious as she handed out the answer
sheets. She carefully compared each student’s face with the photo on the examinee certificate,
moving slowly and adding to my anxiety. While she continued to hand out the sheets, the maleteacher stood in front of the platform with great seriousness in his eyes. When I tried to reach for
my water to calm myself, the worst thing happened.
It is my habit to bring a bottle of water to an exam. However, on that particular day, I left
home in a hurry and forgot it. Without water, my throat felt burning and my whole body
dehydrated (脱水的). I was suffering from this physical discomfort, and the anxious, upset feeling
only worsened as the sheets were handed out so unhurriedly.
What was only a few minutes felt like a century. Glancing around, I saw water bottles on
the platform. The pain — both physical and mental — became unbearable when the teachers
finished their processes and were about to return to the front of the classroom.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Finally, I picked up all my courage and raised my hand.
