21、Leek Town Warriors was a girls’ football team Which used to get routinely defeated every time they turned out, until James Henry stepped in two years ago. He took the job when the previous coach quit and transformed the team’s fortunes.With the help of his assistant Andy Austin, they started training hard in April 2020.

Some players had never kicked a football before joining the team, so training them took hours of hard work and patience. After a good few weeks, they got down to training and really started to take it in what the coach wanted. “I insist on doing the basic stuff well and letting the girls decide what they feel they need to work on.” James said.

James’ first season was ruined by the pandemic, which forced him and Andy to get creative with training. They organized team-building activities with the girls to help them bond on and off the field. James then spent the sessions they could hold focusing on the basics of football like passing and shooting, bringing the girls up to a good standard.

James watched the girls develop over the course of last year, and in September they played their first match of the new season. They won the game, and since then went on an unbeaten run of eight games. The team’s star player, 15-year-old Chelsea, has also impressed the audience individually,becoming the top scorer in the league with incredible 30 goals.

James said, “All the effort that the girls, us coaches and parents have put in to get this point has been enormous. If I hadn’t had the Support of Andy helping me every week, this would have been an impossible task. So I’m incredibly grateful to have him on side. All we want is to bring more girls into the game and show that it’s not all about having the best players; it’s about hard work and giving everyone the chance to play.”

【1】Why did James Henry take over the soccer team?

A．Because he wanted to try his fortune.

B．Because he wanted to turn things around.

C．Because the previous coach recommended him.

D．Because he hoped to fulfill his champion dream.

【2】What did James do to change the situation?

A．Pick experienced players.

B．Develop players’ patience.

C．Lay stress on basic skills.

D．Make decisions for the girls.

【3】What did the team achieve after James was in charge?

A．They won the league championship.

B．They stood out in James’ first season.

C．They scored 30 goals in the season.

D．They won regularly and secured promotion.

【4】What can we learn from the story?

A．Talent is the key.

B．Joint efforts matter.

C．Every dog has his day.

D．Time and tide wait for no man.

22、   For years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.

So what’s the solution? Robots.

Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items, and retrieve records. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact.

Robots capable of social engagement help with loneliness as well as cognitive functioning, but the robot itself doesn't have to engage directly—it can serve as an intermediary for human communication. Telepresence robots such as MantaroBot, Vgo, and Giraff can be controlled through a computer, smartphone, or tablet, allowing family members or doctors to remotely monitor patients or Skype them, often via a screen where the robot's 'face' would be. If you can't get to the nursing home to visit grandma, you can use a telepresence robot to hang out with her. A 2016 study found that users had a 'consistently positive attitude' about the Giraff robot's ability to enhance communication and decrease feelings of loneliness.

A robot’s appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse that looks a huge teddy bear. RIBA (Robot for Interactive Body Assistance), also known as 'Robear', can help patients into and out of wheelchairs and beds with its strong arms.  On the less cute and more scary side there is Actroid F, which is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and “only three or four said they didn't like having it around.”

It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses (though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off). Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement.

【1】What does the author say about Japan?

A.It delivers the best medication for the elderly.

B.It takes the lead in providing robotic care.

C.It provides retraining for registered nurses.

D.It sets the trend in future robotics technology.

【2】What are telepresence robots designed to do?

A.Directly interact with patients to prevent them from feeling lonely.

B.Cater to the needs of patients for recovering their cognitive capacity.

C.Closely monitor the patients' movements and conditions around the clock.

D.Facilitate communication between patients and doctors or family members.

【3】What is one special feature of the robot Actroid F?

A.It interacts with patients just like a human companion.

B.It operates quietly without patients realizing its presence.

C.It likes to engage in everyday conversations with patients.

D.It uses body language even more effectively than words.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Doctors and surgeons will soon be laid off.

B.The robotics industry will soon take off.

C.Robots will not make nurses unnecessary.

D.Cooperation will not replace completion.

23、Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons — for example, economic reasons — why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.

Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.

【1】What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?

A. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.

B. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.

C. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.

D. Some of them are not attractive.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?

A. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.

B. We should reproduce the same old buildings.

C. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.

D. No one understands why people speak against new buildings.

【3】By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “________”.

A. destroy old buildings

B. put things in a different place

C. choose new architectural style

D. respect people’s feelings for historical buildings

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To explain why people dislike change.

B. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.

C. To warn that we could end up living in caves.

D. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.

24、Chokwe Selassie, aged 13, is working hard to help drivers avoid potholes(坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his creation on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. He decided to do something about the pothole problem in his city.

Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red. And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep. Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes and look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.

The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson, already stored in a database of the city’s 311 call system. Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype.

While developing the app, the boys took part in a Minority Male Makers Program sponsored by Verizon and held at Jackson State University. They learned 3D printing and design, and how to create apps. Through the program Chokwe and his friends received encouragement and guidance.

Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve the app. He hopes to add more to it until it spreads all over the country.

【1】Why is the car damage mentioned in the first paragraph?

A. To scold the road builders.

B. To introduce their bad luck.

C. To tell the inspiration for the app.

D. To warn the danger of careless driving.

【2】What is the app used to do?

A. Warn drivers about potholes.

B. Help drivers obey traffic rules.

C. Stop drivers using mobile phones.

D. Tell drivers to avoid red lights.

【3】How does the app work through the 311 call system?

A. By replying to citizens’ calls.

B. By broadcasting traffic accidents.

C. By settling non- emergency problems.

D. By using its information about potholes.

【4】Which can be Chokwe’s future target?

A. Encouraging more kids to create apps.

B. Taking part in more learning programs.

C. Making the app available for sale online.

D. Making the app include streets nationwide.

25、Many of us are lucky enough to have some degrees of choice over what we eat. When we open the fridge or browse the shelves of the local supermarket, there are a variety of options_________to us. But are the_________we make about our diet as free as we like to think? What if there was something _________our own hunger influencing what we eat?

If I think the person I’m with is more _________or popular, I’ll tend to want to__________them more.”

Our eating habits are also influenced by what we see. Scientists say we __________ oozing (渗出) protein, a dribbling egg yolk, or bubbling mozzarella (马苏里拉奶酪), for example. “There is some evidence that, if you see pictures of food, that visual__________can prompt you to feel a desire to eat,” says Suzanne Higgs, professor in the psychobiology of appetite at the University of Birmingham, UK. Although, she says, whether people __________through on that desire is influenced by lots of other __________, such as what food is available at the time.

Social media is one place where visual and social cues __________. Undoubtedly there is (a/an)__________ that if friends in your social network post__________about particular types of food, it could lead you to__________them, for better or for worse.

26、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。

It was the first day of our new grade. Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holidays. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Green, followed by an ordinary-looking boy.

“This boy’s name is Mark, ” Ms. Green announced. “He comes from another school, and he’s going to be in our class from today. Make sure all of you welcome him warmly. ”

The class clapped. But I didn’t want to. have a second look at the newcomer, for he had no outstanding qualities, considering his small figure and casual T-shirt.

“Oh, I forgot to mention one thing, " Ms. Green spoke up. “Mark actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken. His doctor suggester that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Mark insisted on attending his first day of school So if you want to communicate with him, you have to write your words on a piece of paper. ”

This single speech sent the whole class into noises. Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity.

Ms. Green calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers?”

“How can a disabled person be intelligent?” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else. would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom.

It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms. Green’s.

“How about you, James? She asked me. “Is it okay for you to take care of Mark just for today?”

It is difficult to refuse a request by someone, especially. f that person is a teacher. I sighed (叹气)and nodded slightly.

Ms. Green gestured for Mark to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class.

注意：

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
