The Race of the Robots
,
The robotics competition was taking place. Lily and Toby followed their two other teammates David and
Marcus, into the big hall. They laid out all their equipment on the table because the rules said the robot could not be
assembled (组装) before the competition. They needed to build and program a robot that could make its way
around an obstacle (障碍) course. It was said that judges often gave a surprise ___13___ change that would
require the students to change their robotic design at the last minute.
“Teams, it is now time for the new rule,” the host announced. “Some rocks will be placed on the course. You
will have to make your robot remove them from the course.”
“We can build an arm to pick up the rocks and ___14___ them on the side,” said David right away. “But that
would take too much time,” Marcus replied.
The team stood in ___15___, each trying to think up new ideas. Toby thought hard about the design they had
already planned out. Then he realized something special about their design — the secret box.
“How about we create a door in the front of the ___16___ space in the center of the robot? We can add a
sensor (传感器) to the door. So when our robot goes along and comes across those rocks, it will open the door and
pick them up,” he explained.
The team thought about it. “Actually, that might work. The fact that the robot is ___17___ these things rather
than just moving them might give us extra points,” Lily said.
The four set to work, ___18___ but quickly assembling their pre-designed robot, then adding the door with
the extra parts they had brought. It was hard, and time was running out. As the buzzer (计时器) rang, Toby placed

It was time for Toby’s team to compete. They set their robot on the course and watched it make its way and
meet the first rock. It stopped for a second, and the members of the team ___19___ their breath. Then the machine
opened its door and slid (滑行) across the small rock. When it passed over the rock, the rock disappeared —
___20___ in the robot’s secret box. The team cheered, knowing they were one step closer to the championship.

On the final day of the summer camp, Ada and Lydia stood below The Bear Crawl, the camp’s highest, hardest
rope course. Lydia volunteered to go first. Hands before feet, Lydia began her crawl (爬) across the rope ladder.
“Go, Lydia, go! You’re a champion. You’ve got this!”Ada cheered from below. When Lydia made it all the
way across, completing the challenge, Ada felt relieved for her friend but also nervous: it was her turn now.
Ada reached her arms out to the first rung on the rope ladder. Her arms felt shaky as she felt the ladder sway
(摇摆) a little under her weight. She carefully walked her hands forward to the next rung. About halfway across the
Bear Crawl, Ada was starting to feel a little more confident. With every rung, she was getting closer to the opposite
platform. She could do this!
Ada reached out for the next rung, just as a strong wind made the rope ladder sway. Ada’s hand did not grasp
the wood rung. Instead, her hand hit only air and continued downward, followed by her arm, her shoulder and the
rest of her body!
Almost immediately, the harness (保护带) caught her. As Ada was lowered to the ground slowly, she could see
all the other kids staring up at her. Ada’s face burned from embarrassment. When she finally reached the ground,
she looked at her shoes and the ground.
“Can I try again?”Ada whispered, holding back tears.
The coach looked at her watch. “I’m sorry, Ada. We don’t have time.”
On the bus home, Ada rested her head against the window. Beside her, Lydia sat silent and thoughtful. “Hey,
Ada?” Lydia said. “I couldn’t have made it across the ladder without you. I got so terrified in the middle, but then
第4页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司you shouted my name and I kept going.”
“You got scared?”Ada asked.
Lydia nodded, her eyes widening. “Super scared. I’m surprised I didn’t throw up on everybody below.”Ada
smiled a little. “You were just unlucky that such a big wind came up,” continued Lydia.
Right that moment, she knew her friend was trying to cheer her up. Suddenly falling off the ladder did not
seem so important anymore.
24. When a big wind came up, Ada________.
A. fell off the rope ladder B. felt embarrassed
C. kept crawling confidently D. cried out for help
25. How did Lydia cheer Ada up?
A. By listening to Ada carefully. B. By sharing her own feelings.
C. By encouraging Ada to try again. D. By showing Ada how to climb.
26. Ada finally realized she didn’t need to care too much about________.
A. effort B. success C. courage D. friendship
C
Keeping your family traditions alive is a wonderful way to create memories — and here’s why they are of
great value.
Family is something special. Keeping your own family culture developing and alive is often the result of
having family traditions. Traditions are one of the things that make your family unlike any other — something to be
passed from generation to generation.
I bet you can think of one tradition you and your family have always done together and a whole lot of
wonderful memories about it. Memories of moments spent together with the people you love are always a hot topic
of conversation whenever you reconnect. Those memories — especially the ones involving family traditions — can
last a lifetime.
When you have family traditions set in stone, whether they fall on a holiday, or on an important day for your
family during the year, you always have something great to long for. Whether it’s baking cookies together, going on
an outing in spring, or putting up paper cuts during the Spring Festival, traditions make any occasion special. And
they can add a little excitement to your life when you need to take a breather from the boring and tiring daily work.
Family traditions provide consistency (稳定性). Life is always changing. Sometimes it feels like when you
catch up and get used to the new things, something else comes out of nowhere and throws you off balance again.
When you’re feeling lost, traditions can provide stability and make you feel grounded again.
Family traditions bind (凝聚) you all together in a way that nothing else can. Nothing brings you and your
第5页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司loved ones closer than getting together to celebrate traditions and enjoy each other’s company. Traditions remind
you about everything your family is — where you came from, where you’re going, and how far you’ve come
together.
Often times, it’s not just the most wonderful traditions that have the biggest influence. Even something as
simple as eating a bowl of noodles on your birthday can strengthen the ties between you and the loved ones in your
life. The most important and valuable memories of your life could be created from your family traditions, both the
big and the small.
27. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
.
A Big events are needed to strengthen family ties. B. Family values remind people of what truly matters.
C. Memories involving family traditions last a lifetime. D. Family traditions give people something good to
expect.
28. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 shows ________.
A. family memories are helpful to deal with painful emotions
B. family traditions help people feel in control of their lives
C. keeping up with changes makes people feel confident
D. breaking family traditions throws people off balance
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Secret to Keeping Family Traditions Alive
B. The Possible Benefits of Valuing Life Memories
C. The Lasting Positive Influence of Family Traditions
D. The Key to Making Family Life Different and Special
D
Friendly and trustworthy people are more likely to be picked for teams than those known for just their skill
competence (能力), according to new research.
“We would think people are chosen because of the knowledge and skills they bring to the table. However, the
research suggests people may often get picked because team members feel comfortable with them,” said Cynthia
Maupin from Binghamton University. “People may be willing to sacrifice (牺牲) a bit in terms of performance in
order to have a really enjoyable team experience.”
Maupin’s team focused on a number of MBA students to carry out their study. Students were randomly (随机
地) divided into teams to work on class projects when a term began. Toward the end of the term, students were
asked to form their own teams and talk about why they picked each member of their group. “We wanted to find out
what people did to show others they might be a good teammate,” Maupin said.
第6页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司The researchers specifically (具体地) looked at how students showed their human capital, the ability to do
their tasks well, and their social capital, the degree to which they were friendly and trustworthy, to other students by
studying their use of challenging or supportive voice:
● Challenging voice: Communicating in a way that challenges the present situation and focuses on new ideas.
● Supportive voice: Communicating in a way that strengthens social ties and trust.
“As might be expected, anyone who was very strong in terms of showing both their human and social capital
were extremely wanted when it came to forming teams. They’re doing all the right things to show they’re both
trustworthy and competent,” Maupin said.
However, the researchers found students who only showed social capital through supportive voice were more
needed than those only showing their competence through the use of challenging voice.
These findings could have major implication for the workplace. If people are looking to join important teams,
they should use supportive voice to show others they can be trusted, especially when they’re new to an
organization. In times of the pandemic (流行病), the findings are even more useful as many organizations have a
fully long-distance or mixed work model. “You may only see your coworkers during online meetings,” Maupin
said. “With fewer in-person interactions, you really need to make your human and social capital noticeable through
the use of your voice, especially if you’re looking for future team opportunities.”
30. In the study the MBA students were asked to ________.
A. explain why they picked certain team members
B. grade how each team performed in the projects
C. question the skills and knowledge they have
D. share their experience of fitting into a team
31. The third and fourth paragraphs are mainly about ________.
A. what the research found out B. who the research focused on
C. why the research was important D. how the research was carried out
32. During the pandemic, to make your human and social capital noticeable, you need to ________.
A. work out new ways for a mixed work model
B. design interesting online meetings for your team
C. speak up in both challenging and supportive ways
D. have as many in-person interactions with coworkers as possible
33. What do you know about preference for teammates from the passage?
A. People using challenging voice are more likely to be accepted.
B. The ability to come up with new ideas plays a more decisive role.
第7页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. A friendly attitude outweighs the ability to deal with difficult tasks.
D. The desire to get others’ trust is more valued than to build social ties.

四、阅读表达（每题 2 分，共 10 分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
When much of the world shut down due to COVID-19, a family of four living in New York, decided to bring
home six baby chicks. The plan was to raise them to provide the family with fresh eggs. What they hadn’t expected
was the bond (情感纽带) that would form between these chicks and their nine-year-old daughter, Sophie.
Sophie fell in love with the baby chicks the moment they came home. She named the chicks Trixie, Bearty,
Sweet Pea, Speedie, Captain Flint, and Adrian. She spent much of her time playing with them, reading to them, and
even making them their own cardboard houses. She was even upset when her parents wouldn’t allow the chicks to
sleep in her bed with her. “They’re really cute and warm. I like to hug them,” said Sophie, “Bearty is my favorite.
She likes to go for a walk with me.”
The six chicks served as a distraction (分心的事物) during a time of loneliness and disease, but as the world
began to settle into its new normal and the chicks grew into full-grown chickens, the bond continued to grow.
Sophie liked to bring a chicken with her wherever her parents would allow. She even dressed as a giant chicken for
Halloween and brought Trixie along for trick or treat. The chickens kept Sophie company during her online classes,
and even joined in on the family photo. The bond between Sophie and these chickens was unbreakable.
However, the beloved Captain Flint died suddenly because of an accident. Sophie was heartbroken.
She mourned (哀悼) by painting Captain Flint and wearing a necklace with a photo of the chicken. “Her
chickens are teaching her about love, loss, and pain. Sophie has handled it well,” said Sophie’s mom, “In a few
short months, these chickens have taught us to relax, accept situations we can’t change, and find joy where we can.
They’ve brought us comfort during uncertain times and changed our lives. We are thankful.”
