学科网（北京）股份有限公司Amy was a dear little girl, but she often tended to waste time in getting ready to do her tasks, instead of doing
them at once as she ought to.
In the village in which she lived, Mr. Thornton kept a store where he sold fruit of all kinds, including berries in
their season. One day he said to Amy, whose parents were quite poor, “Would you like to earn some money? ”
“Oh, yes,” replied she, “for I want some new shoes, and papa has no money to buy them with. ”
“Well, Amy,” said Mr. Thornton, “I noticed some fine, ripe blackberries in Mr. Green’s field today, and he said
that anybody was welcome to them. I will pay you thirteen cents a quart (度量单位) for all you will pick for me”
Amy was delighted at the thought of earning some money; so she ran home to get a basket, intending to go
immediately to pick the berries.
Then she thought she would like to know how much money she would get if she picked five quarts. With the
help of her slate (书写板) and pencil, she found out that she would get sixty-five cents.
“But supposing I should pick a dozen quarts,” thought she, “how much should I earn then?” “Dear me!” she
said, after figuring a while, “I should earn a dollar and fifty-six cents.”
Amy then found out what Mr. Thornton would pay her for fifty, a hundred, and two hundred quarts. It took her
some time to do this, and then it was so near dinner time that she had to stay at home until afternoon.
As soon as dinner was over, she took her basket and hurried to the field. Some boys had been there before
dinner, and all the ripe berries were picked. She could not find enough to fill a quart measure.
4. Why did Mr. Thornton invite Amy to pick berries?
A. To help her buy new shoes. B. To help her make some money.
C. To help her get rid of bad habits. D. To help her enter the fruit business.
.

In an attempt to explore unknown environments, a Chinese team created an octopus (章鱼) — inspired
flexible robotic arm capable of sensing and controlling objects in limited spaces and underwater.
第4页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司According to the study published in the latest edition of Science Robotics, the robot allowed blindfolded
human operators to guide its arm, using suckers (吸盘) to pick up various objects, including a toy shark and a
smooth metal ball, via a single-finger glove.
This new invention created by a team of researchers, led by Wen Li from Beihang University was inspired by
the octopus, which moves its soft arms to catch its games with sensitive suckers.
A simple strategy like this can be used as a model for robotic grasping, controllable with a few inputs, as well
as a highly deformable arm with sensing capabilities.
Wen’s team fixed electronics and circuits into the robots while maintaining their deformability. The
researchers presented a stretchable electronics-integrated soft octopus arm with 16 air-driven devices and multiple
degrees of freedom.
The robot's stretchable, liquid-metal-based electronic circuit can stand super stretching force to perform tasks
autonomously in a limited environment, findings from the study showed.
The soft arm with two rows of sensory sucking cups that connect with the wearer's finger can perform a
reaching-grasping-returning motion across a range of up to 1.5 times its original arm length, similar to the
biological counterpart (对应方), the study revealed.
“This robotic model provides new prospects and development ideas for the future interactive applications of
flexible robots, including medical robots, seabed exploration robots, and so on” said the expert.
8. What inspired the invention of the robotic arm according to the passage?
A. The limited spaces underwater.
B. The special biological structure of the octopus.
C. The desire to explore the living environment of octopus.
D. The team work of the researchers from Beihang University.
9. What's the meaning of the underlined word “deformable” in paragraph 4?
A. Powerful. B. Changeable. C. Steady. D. Active.
.
10 Which device is integrated into the robot?
A. Plastic circuits. B. Suckers of octopuses.
C. Electronic sensors. D. Arms of octopuses.
11. What do the experts imply in the last paragraph?
A. Octopus is a very magic underwater creature.
B. Creativity plays a very important part in science.
C. The unknown world offers possibility for innovation.
D. One invention can bring about a chain reaction of breakthroughs.

Some songs might speak to your soul even if you don't know the words. The almost magical way that music
reflects and influences our emotions led American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to declare it the “universal
language of mankind”. But how universal is it really?
A team of more than a dozen researchers and countless undergraduates set out to collect and interpret
descriptions and recordings of musical performances around the world. Their first finding: Music is indeed
universal. Or at least statistical modeling strongly suggests that more than 99% of societies have music. Then, they
analyzed the song descriptions for sixty very different societies and looked at different qualities related to song
performance.
As they classified the songs, they found that three dimensions (方面) accounted for more than a quarter of the
variability between songs. The first was how formal or informal a song was. Songs high in formality had large
audiences and lots of instruments, often involved ceremonial events, and frequently had adult-only audiences.
Informal events had smaller audiences, including children, or no audience at all. The second was how arousing a
song was to its listeners. Lively events involving lots of dancing were high on this dimension, while a low value
reflected a calmer event, like someone singing to themselves or a baby. The last was how religious song was. Songs
used in ceremonies were high in religiosity, while those without a spiritual context scored low.
The researchers applied their findings to four widespread categories of music: lullabies (摇篮), dance songs,
love songs and healing songs, and found clear trend. Most dance was highly arousing and formal, but low in
religiosity. Lullabies were mostly low in formality and low in arousal. And healing songs scored high in all
dimensions while love songs were low in all dimensions. Even more interesting, the distribution of these behaviors
was similar in all societies studied.
Scholars say that their database could fuel future research into even more inspiring questions about music
universals. And their method might be used to pick out patterns in other hard-to-analyze fields, like storytelling or
visual art.
12. How was the research conducted?
A. By making comparison and contrast. B. By finding similarities.
.
C By collecting and analyzing data. D. By illustrating examples.
13. Which kind of music may involve the most audiences and instruments?
A. Lullabies. B. Dance songs. C. Love songs. D. Healing songs.
14. How is the future of their research findings according to the scholars?
A. Promising. B. Unpredictable. C. Impractical. D. Limited.
15. What can be concluded from the passage?
第6页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. Songs can speak to your soul only if you know their words.
B. Differences in formality lead to the variability between songs.
C. Music is classified by the number of audience and instruments.
D. Research on the universals of music can help explore other fields.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to pick the best place for a much-needed refreshment? If you’re like most people, a simple clue is likely
to vary your choice. You will look for the busiest restaurant with the most diners because its popularity is bound to
reflect on the quality of food and service. ___16___
Early diners with no meaningful clues as to which restaurant to choose may have picked their evening eatery
at random, for example selecting the place with the nicest name or the smiliest waiter. The following passers-by
may have misinterpreted their restaurant choice as a well-informed decision and blindly followed their example.
___17___ Ever-increasing numbers of customers were attracted to the restaurant in question, which could have led
to a bad dinner choice in an overcrowded restaurant.
Voluntarily copying other people’s thoughts or choices or simply going with the crowd is often referred to as
“herd behaviour.” It is a frequent occurrence amongst humans as well as many other animals, a common example
being sheep. ___18___
In an earlier article, I discussed the so-called “wisdom of crowds”, which suggests that average judgements of
large groups of people often outperform individual choices. Furthermore, following the crowd appears to offer
protection and comfort. ___19___ Finally, following the herd reduces the effort needed to make a personal or
unique decision.
___20___ Contrary to the so-called “wisdom of crowds”, herd behaviours typically rely on so-called
“information cascades (瀑布)”, where people take on others’ beliefs or copy their choices without critically
appraising the underlying reasons. This frequently leads to the imitation of unreasonable or simply stupid
behaviours.
A. But is this true?
B. It is therefore an easy option.
C. After all, there’s “safety in numbers”.
D. Herding can appear to make a lot of sense.
E. This could have resulted in a snow-balling effect.
F. Herd behaviours, while easy to explain, hold significant dangers.
G. The number of diners is unlikely to indicate the quality of the meal.

47. 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。
The paper was hidden in a brown bag. It was her late father’s bucket list, written on three pages torn from a
notebook. Laura Carney looked down at it, then she glanced up at her husband. Without a word spoken, they both
knew: “I needed to finish it,” says Carney, 46.
Her brother, David, was the first to spot it. He uncovered the treasure in 2016—13 years after their father,
Michael Mick Carney, was tragically killed when he was 54 by a distracted driver.
The list, Carney says, was written in 1978, the year she was born. It had 60 tasks, five of which had already
been checked off. One was marked “failed”. That left 54 items for Carney to complete. The tasks ranged from
relatively simple tasks, like “grow a watermelon,” to more complicated ones like “correspond with a famous
celebrity”. Several tasks were seemingly impossible. Still, Carney was not discouraged. For Carney, the bucket list
was an unexpected opportunity to work through her pain and reconnect with her dad.
“The first couple ones that I did happened organically,” Carney says. She had already signed up for a
marathon, which allowed her to check “run 10 miles straight” off the list.
Another item she completed early on was “talk with the president.” She learned that former President Jimmy
Carter—who would have been president when Carney’s father wrote the list—taught Sunday school in Georgia.
She and her husband flew there to meet him.
While Carney completed many of the bucket list tasks on her own—including a two-week trip to Europe— “it
didn’t really feel like I was doing things alone, because I knew my dad was with me,” she says. “I feel like my
relationship with him is very present.”
Carney’s brother and mother accompanied her for some activities, and her husband joined her for others.
“After about the first year or two of doing this project, he would say to me that the person he had always seen in me
was coming out,” Carney says. “I had all these layers of sadness and fear that I was leaving behind.”
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。
There was only one last task left on the list: “Have five songs recorded”.
