A few months ago, a friend gifted me a robot sweeper that's programmed to
movearound aroom and clean as itgoes.
When the box arrived,I was afraid the device would dctect me and sok
up(汲)data along with the dog hair and dust.But the instructions wereeasy, and I
finally decided not tocare.
I powered up the sweeper, watched it leave its docking station to work, and
quickly fell in love with my newly shiny floors.I kept shooting its working videos.“I
thinkyou're giving moreattention to itthan to us,"joked my son.
One day,I returned home and discovered that our front door had blown open and
the robot rolled into the yard, trying to clean the flower beds. Even when its brushes
were blocked withleaves, bugs and mud,its littlewheels bravely kept turning.
The robot acted properly as it was programmed to clean“dirty”things.In a
kitchen,dirt can be garden debris(碎片)such as leaves and mud.In a garden,this kind
of dirt does not need to be removed.The context is important.The problem for robots
is thatreading this contextis difficult.
This accident inspired me to think more aboutAI(artificial intelligence).As far as
I am concerned,AI is simply well trained and reproduces what it has learned.And it is
undeniable that robots are increasingly being given powerful intelligence. Some
experts even predict that we will soon see not only AI-enabled robots designed to
solve problems according to their instructions, but also those with the ability to judge
howthey should respond when they are in adifferent setting.
Maybethis willhappen in thenear future.
24.what was theouthor's concern about the robot sweeper at first?
A.Its after-sales service. B.Its working efficiency.
C.Theprivacy ofher family. D.Thereadability ofits instructions.
25.Howdid theauthor feel about therobot sweeperafter usingif?
A.Enthusiastic. B.Regretful. C.Uncertain. D.Cautious.
26.What was theroot cause oftheaccident happening to therobot sweeper?
A.Its program went wrong. B.It lacked critical thinking.
C Its wheels were badly designed. D.It failed towork onrough surfaces.
27.what does the sixthparagraph mainly talk about concerningAl?
A.Theaccident. B.Someexperts' thinking.
C.Its appeal to theauthor. D.Theauthor's opinion.

For many centuries, the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands was protected by a
defensive wall and canal(运河),But over time,the wall began to fall down.The area
was then transformed into a park surrounding the city center.As for the canal,a plan
was set forth to transform it into a new ring road.Since the community reacted
strongly against theproposal, the ring roadwas never built.
In 2002,the local community wished to recover the canal.This began a long-term
3
学科网（北京）股份有限公司restoration project for the park and canal, which was designed in partnership with
Utrecht's residents and OKRA Landscape Architects. The specific part of the canal
that was under restoration is called the Catharijnesingel.The project was made up of a
1,100-meter-long stretch, and required about 40,000 cubic meters of water to refill the
canal.
OKRA's design for the new layout of the canal and park features three main
interventions( 干 预 措 施 ).Firstly,the park forms a buffer( 缓 冲 带 )between the
residential and commercial areas of the city.It promotes interaction with nature by
providing citizens with green and blue spaces that provide relaxation. This includes
space to runand exercise inthe park and rowand paddleboard in thecanal.Further,the
dock(头)along the waterfront is the perfect connection between the green and blue
zones.
The redesign of the Catharijnesingel also promotes traffic flow. Pedestrians(行
人)are thetop choice,and theyare given their ownpaths where possible. Meanwhile, a
new walking track has been set up along the canal.It leads exercisers through the
park,alongside various art installations(雕塑装置)and seating areas, and provides
visitors with views of the city.Furthermore,the landscape architects included design
elements from the original landscape architect,J,D. Zocher,to create a public space
that bridges its historical design with thecity center.
In addition, OKRAincluded strategies to promote biodiversity. By introducing a
variety of adaptive plant species,the park has become a home for small animals,birds
and insects within the city.Through their interventions,OKRAtransformed the historic
siteintoa healthy space where humans and otherorganisms co-existpeacefully.
28.what made theplan tochange thecanal into aroad fail?
A.Shortageof money.
B.Its possibleharm tonature.
C.Thedisagreement from thecommunity.
D.Thedifficulty ipreserving its historicfeatures.
29.What can we learnabout OKRA's design from paragraphs3 and 4?
A.It is human-centered. B.It features traditional local culture.
C.Mechanical equipment is widely used. D.Eco-friendly materials are used.
30.Whichof thefollowing best describes therestoration project?
A.Costly B.Successful C.Commercial D.Debatable
31.What is theourpose ofthetext?
A.Topromoteharmony between man and nature.
B.Totell thehistory of acanal.
C.Toshow ways to transform acity.
D.Tointroduce arestoration project

If you live in a region where winter weather is n regular risk,you are likely used
to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do
humans pouronto ourplanet's surface?Thesecond question is easier toanswer: a lot.
Salt doesn't directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear.Instead it
makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression.In
4
学科网（北京）股份有限公司the case of simple rock salt,which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each
molecule(分子)splits into smaller elements, Normally, when water freezes into ice, its
molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure, Salt interrupts the
process,however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and
forfreezing to occur.
But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when
temperatures are stubbornly below freezing,and water should already be in the form
of ice? That's where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and,in turn,
heat.The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit,making it
unlikelyto freeze.
Beyond rock salt's ability to clear icy streets,it can also be destructive.Chloride
ions(氯离子)can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride
densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade
sources ofdrinking water.
Manylocal governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such
as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt,and
they're perhaps even more efficient.Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing
solutions,including thosethat contain sugars instead ofor in additionto salts.Another
approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All
of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather
condition—a Herculean task when winter brings itsworst.
32.What's thepurpose ofthefirst sentence inParagraph 2?
A.Tointroduce thetopic. B.Togive someevidence.
C.Toreveal themisconception. D.Todefine thephenomenon.
33.Howdoes salt work to disturbthe process offreezing?
A.By lowering thetemperature.
B.Bymelting andsplitting itself.
C.Bylining uptoform asolidstructure.
D.By stoppingtheformation ofthestructure.
34.Whatdoes theunderlined word “densities”inParagraph mean?
A.Concentrations. B.Weights. C.Qualities. D.Salts.
35.What's thelast paragraph mainly talking about?
A.Other saltswon't disturb local ecology.
B.Effortsare being madeto guarantee safetravels,
C.Many alternatives are available tosolvethe problem.
D.Bitter wintermake itimpossible tosecure road safety
第二节 七选五(共 5小题;每小题 2.5分,共12.5分)
There are so many definitions of wisdom.Simply put,wisdom is a mix of
insight(洞察力),common sense, experience, and results to sound judgement. It is not
merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with
chaos,controversy(争议),and conflicts. 36 It shines ourway through darkness.
Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies,I always associated wisdom with
Gandalf, Yoda, and Aibus Dumbledore. Although these characters have given every
oneofus tons ofinspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves. 37 Andhow?
5
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Embarking on new experiences is an avenue(途径)for acquiring wisdom.You
will never grow from being in your comfort zone, which is why you need to get out of
it.Do change your routine and experience as much as what life takes you to! In
fact,there are always several sides to a life story. To identify the truth,you need to be
receptive to different views. 38 It is not emotion-based either. Instead, train your
mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. Open-mindedness opens new pathways to
profound insights.
What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement? 39 The
more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be. Your
tutors can be whoever is wiser than you. Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with the
tofine out why.
Rome was not built in a day. 40 It is important to acknowledge that it takes a
span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life's
challenges.
A.Individuals need tobring itout.
B.Itisn't something you are born with.
C.Knowledgespeaks, but wisdom listens.
D.Remember developing wisdom isbeyond adestination.
E.Never base your perspective(观点)onthemost popularopinions
F.Ashortcut to dothat is tohave wisepeople as your tutors (导师)
G.In order to navigate(航行)in it,wisdom becomes ourguiding light

One afternoon inAugust,five years after Mom passed away,I was unpacking my
groceries(食品杂货)in my kitchen. When I lifted my left hand out of a grocery bag,I
suddenly couldn't breathe.Looking at the ring on my finger,I found the star
sapphire(蓝宝石)was gone.Mom had given me the ring on my twenty-first birthday.I
had wor it every day for twenty-nine years.It was a reminder of Mom and a symbol of
ourlove.
“No! No! No!"I yelled, hurrying to check the bag and the floor,and then my
car,but the star sapphire was nowhere to be found.Feeling helpless,I called my best
friend,Marie.“The star sapphire in my ring fell out.I don't know what to do,"I
said,extremely worried.
Marie replied,"please don't be anxious.Try to stay calm and positive.You can go
back to the places you just visited and take a look."But how could I keep hope in
seemingly impossible situations? Anyway,I started my car and drove to the grocery
store again.I couldn't shake the feeling that there was little chance that I could find my
stone.
Back at the grocery store,I pulled into the same parking spot and looked
everywhere for my star sapphire. My hands and knees felt the hot ground as I
searched crazily around and under my SUV car.Then I rushed inside the store,
searching for a familiar face for more help.I spotted Amanda,a staff member whom I
had met on previous shopping trips,and urgently tapped her on the shoulder.“I was
just here twenty minutes ago and lost the stone of this ring.It's very special to me.It's
from my late mom.Could you please help me look for it?"I cried,unaware that many
otherpeople around alsoheard my words.
Amanda's eyes softened and she nodded understandingly.She immediately took a
large mop(拖把) and started carefully sweeping it back and forth down the first
aisle(过道)of thehuge store.

1.续写词数应为150左右;

In tears,I called after her,“It's light blueand small.”
