Working robots are typically big, simple and strong. They are large preprogrammed units working in
dangerous jobs. But the idea of putting “cobots” which work in harmony with humans into use has become
a reality and has changed robotic products worldwide.
Cobots include robots made of tough materials that provide support for the disabled and software-
based assistants for home of online services. With their operating software updated from the Internet, these
helpers will become an extension（延伸） of mobile devices.
Most industrial robots are not designed to deal with unpredictable human jobs. However, by reducing
robots down to desktop size and planting them with AI, the next generation of cobots will learn from us
and cooperate with us better. Lightweight cobots can work in less space and share themselves with people
rather than being caged off. Decreasing costs for robotic systems make them more suitable for small
businesses, and their easy set-up makes them simple to deploy（利用）. Typical industrial uses for cobots
include packing and machine tending. More detailed uses include cleaning dirty samples, picking plants,
making tea and coffee and so on.
Still, experts thought that introducing robots would lead to job losses. Some people said that 20
million industrial jobs would be lost worldwide by 2030. Actually, it was not the case. What big companies
such as Germany’s Mercedes-Benz discovered was that robots alone were not intelligent enough to keep
pace with the demand for special products, which still depends on a large number of skilled staff to control
3
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司and push the whole progress.
“Unplanned changes to production and safer interaction with humans will then require a step change
in robot improvements. It has become necessary to use the new generation of cobots in people’s daily life,
and cooperation（合作） should be considered as an applicable strategy. When we make people and
machines cooperate, we can produce many more products on one production line,” said Markus Schaefer,
head of production planning.
24. What can we know about cobots from Paragraph 2?
A. They can do many boring tasks for people. B. They are still at the experimental stage.
B. They are designed to serve the injured. D. They can meet a variety of needs in daily life.
25. Which of the following words can best describe the newly designed cobots?
A. Complex but creative. B. High-cost but useful.
C. Affordable and convenient. D. Small-sized and energy-saving.
26. What can be inferred from Schaefer’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Cobots attract a large number of buyers.
B. Cobots may cause rising unemployment.
C. Cobots bring both benefits and disadvantages.
D. Cobots promoting human-robot cooperation is a trend.
27. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To stress the influence of cobots. B. To discuss the development of cobots.
C. To enourage improvements in smart technology. D. To introduce some methods to improve life.

On the night of June seventeenth, happily unaware that I was now less than forty-eight hours from
my little “date” with Bryan Smith, I sat down at our dining room table and listed all the questions I
wanted to answer, all the points I wanted to address in my book On Writing—A Memoir of the Craft.
On the eighteenth, I wrote the first four pages of the “On Writing” section. That was where my
writing still stood in late July, when I decided I’d better get back to work, or at least try.
My wife Tabby is the person in my life who’s most likely to say I’m working too hard, it’s time to
slow down, stay away from that disgusting PowerBook for a little while. When I told her on that July
morning that I thought I’d better go back to work, I expected a lecture. Instead, she asked me where I
wanted to set up.
She thought about it, and said: “I can lay a table for you in the back hall. There are plenty of
plugins so you can have your laptop, the little printer, and a fan.” A couple of hours later, she had made
me a wonderful little nest there: laptop and printer, my notes, pens, and reference materials...Standing on
the corner of the desk was a framed picture of our younger son, which she had taken earlier that summer.
“Is it all right?” she asked.
“It’s wonderful,” I said, and hugged her. It was wonderful. So is she.
That first writing session lasted an hour and forty minutes, by far the longest period I’d spent sitting
4
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司upright since being struck by Bryan Smith’s car. When it was over, I was sweating and almost too tired
to sit up straight in my wheelchair. And the first five hundred words were uniquely terrifying—it was as
if I’d never written anything before them in my life. All my old tricks seemed to have deserted（抛弃）
me. I stepped from one word to the next like a very old man finding his way across a stream on a
winding line of wet stones. There was no inspiration that first afternoon, only a kind of stubborn
determination and the hope that things would get better if I kept at it.
There was no breakthrough that afternoon, unless it was the ordinary miracle that comes with any
attempt to create something. All I know is that the words started coming a little faster after a while, then
a little faster still. My back still hurt, my leg, too, but those hurts began to seem a little farther away. I
started to get on top of them. There was no sense of excitement— not that day—but there was a sense of
accomplishment that was almost as good.
After that, things can only get better.
28. What happened to the writer on June the nineteenth?
A. He had an appointment with Bryan Smith.
B. He listed all the questions he wanted to answer.
C. He wrote the first four pages of the “On Writing” section.
D. He was struck by a vehicle driven by Bryan Smith.
29. When did the author decide to continue his writing?
A. In late June. B. On June 18th. C. In late July. D. On June 17th.
30. What does the underlined sentence “I expected a lecture.” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. I was expecting my wife to advise me what to write about.
B. I thought my wife would talk a lot to prevent me from writing.
C. I had prepared a lecture to get myself back to work.
D. I was waiting for my wife to show me where to set up.
31. What made the words start coming a little faster after a while?
A. All his old tricks that had come back. B. His determination to create something.
C. His pains that had gone a little farther away. D. His wonderful little nest made by his wife.

If carbon dioxide (CO ) were a politician, it would be worried about its bad press. This greenhouse
2
gas is the primary pollutant responsible for global warming. Scientists, leaders, and activists are trying to
stop its production. This gas, however, also plays a key role in life on Earth.
Carbon helps form the protein and DNA found in living things. In the atmosphere, it combines with
two oxygen atoms to form carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis (光合作用) . In
the process, plants use energy from the sun to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar. In return, plants
give off oxygen. As carbon dioxide concentrations increase in the atmosphere, scientists are trying to
employ photosynthesis to promote plant growth. Laboratory studies show a higher concentration of the gas
is making some plants grow more quickly in certain conditions, but in the wild and on outdoor farms the
5
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司overall benefit is unclear. In the Netherlands, some commercial (商业的) greenhouses are experimenting
with ways to send carbon dioxide released from industry into greenhouses along a particular way where
plants use the extra gas as fertilizer (肥料).
The first person to assume the existence of carbon dioxide was 16th-century Belgian scientist Jan
Baptist van Helmont. After coal was burned, he noted, the weight of the remains was lower than the coal’s
initial weight, which means some mass had been lost in the process. He was the first scientist to recognize
different gases present in the air we breathe. It wasn’t until 1896 that Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius
linked the carbon dioxide released from burning coal and oil to atmospheric warming.
Yet, despite its being plentiful in the atmosphere, we have run short of commercially produced
carbon dioxide because of rising energy costs. As a result, carbonated drink (碳酸饮料) companies have
had to raise prices or reduce production.
32. What function does CO have according to paragraph 2?
2
A. Saving energy. B. Increasing fertilizer.
C. Supporting life. D. Commercializing agriculture.
33. Why is Jan Baptist van Helmont mentioned?
A. To explain the origins of CO . B. To tell an unknown story.
2
C. To compare the applications of CO . D. To show an early discovery.
2
34. What problem do carbonated drink companies face?
A. Commercial CO is in short supply. B. Sales of their drinks are extremely poor.
2
C. It’s difficult to increase their production. D. There’s too much CO in the atmosphere.

35. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Climate Change: Affected by CO B. CO: Both an Enemy and Friend

C. Greenhouse Gas: Having a Bad Press D. Carbon: Misunderstood Substance

Benefits of sharing jokes as a family
A well-chosen joke can have a big impact when speaking to a crowd or attempting to redirect a tense
meeting. 36 Our family started regularly enjoying jokes when my son began sharing the “Joke
of the Day” read on the morning announcements of his school with us at dinner. A burst of laughter
prevents us from complaining about the menu. 37 The benefits of sharing jokes definitely go
beyond mealtime conversation matter, though. Here are some reasons to make joking around a regular
family habit:
38 Knowing a good joke can help a kid connect with other kids at the cafeteria table or start
a conversation on the school bus. Enjoying jokes and practicing the art of humorous delivery in the safety
of their home can give kids tools for social situations, especially if this is an area of difficulty.
Jokes improve language skills. 39 Consider the learning potential in these samples from
Funology.com: “What do you call a cow that eats your grass? A lawn mower.” “When is a door not a door?
When it’s ajar (半开着).”
Jokes encourage reading and learning. Many parents and teachers report that joke books help
motivate their reluctant or struggling readers to read more. Since jokes, by design, are for sharing, reading
them aloud is particularly good practice for kids who struggle with reading fluently. 40 If your
child needs help remembering a difficult concept, a joke might do it. For instance, try another joke from

学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司Funology.com: “Two atoms(原子) are playing together when one tells the other, ‘I lost an electron.’ The
second atom asks, ‘Are you sure?’ The first atom replies ‘I’m positive!’”
A. Jokes help kids build social relationships.
B. Jokes aren’t just for the public stage, though.
C. Humor can even help a person deal with mood disorders.
D. Studies show humor can make information more memorable, too.
E. Jokes are quick lessons about sounds in words and word meanings.
F. Humor encourages family connection and can help ease kids’ anxiety.
G. Also, it’s been a good chance to explain jokes he didn’t quite understand.

67. 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 短文。
When I started my high school journey in an unfamiliar town, everything felt strange, from the
sounds on the streets to the color of the sky. Loneliness was my constant companion, a reality that pained
me deeply. I was floating in a sea of anxiety, lack of companionship.
Then, Emily entered my world. Our familiarity blossomed during my second week, perhaps because
we sat close or had a shared task. I can’t remember how it began, but it changed everything. Emily’s
warmth, humor, and approachability（和蔼可亲） were a breath of fresh air. For the first time, I sensed a
possibility of belonging.
8
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司However, the arrival of Jane, a girl in a wheelchair, broke my newfound balance. I first met her in
class, who sat beside Emily, occupying my usual seat. Jane didn’t notice me, and I had to find another seat.
It happened again and again, and I started to feel anxious. I told myself she was doing it on purpose, trying
to push me out and take Emily away. But there’s a thing I had to admit that she always knew how to make
people laugh.
I began to hate Jane. She seemed so comfortable and confident, making me feel small. I was upset
that Emily didn’t notice my unease, and I felt like I was fighting to hold onto the only thing I had. I felt
powerless, like I was standing on a shaky edge.
But then, Jane and I started talking. At first, it was just small talk during group discussions or quick
hellos. She’d ask questions that bothered（烦恼） me, and I’d answer shortly, trying to end the
conversation. But she’d let my words hang, waiting for me to fill the silence, and sometimes I did.
Gradually, our conversations became less unfriendly. Jane’s sharp wit（才思智慧） and ability to
command a room with her laughter started to grow on me. I found myself laughing along with the group,
even when I tried to resist(抵制).
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1: An incident brought Jane close to me.
Paragraph 2: Emily also became the facilitator（促成者） of our friendship.
