21、A Pittsburgh-based robotics and engineering startup recently promoted Moonwalkers, a pair of battery-powered shoes that it claims can boost walk speeds by up to 250%.

Although they may look like just another set of electric roller skates, the Moonwalkers are actually a bit different. You walk as you’re wearing them the way you would regular shoes or sneakers, letting the motorized wheels put a spring in your step. Powered by a state-of-the-art brushless DC motor, this smart appliance is actually a platform that can be attached to a wide variety of footwear to significantly increase your walking speed up to a reported 7mph/11kph. For comparison, humans’ average walking speed ranges from 2. 5. to 4 mph.

As the wearer walks, a 300W brushless motor in each 4. 2-lb(1. 9-kg)Moonwalker spins up the device’s eight polyurethane(聚氨基甲酸乙酯)wheels, providing a sense of like walking on a “moving sidewalk” in an airport. There is also an Al-powered gearbox(变速箱)that increases or decreases speed according to data regarding the wearer’s walk collected by a series of sensors. The shoes are also able to detect downhill movement to prevent accidents.

“Moonwalkers are not skates. They’re shoes. The world’s fastest shoes actually,” Xunjie Zang, founder and CEO of Shift Robotics said. “You don’t skate in them. You walk. You don’t have to learn how to use them, the shoes learn from you.”

But do the world’s fastest shoes work on uneven place, or things like stairs? We all know how tricky those are to walk in rollerskates. Well, apparently the designers took that into consideration and created a part that allows the wearer to lock the wheels so that they can walk up or down stairs as they would in regular footwear. Just using simple foot movements, it’s possible to switch between Shift and Lock modes. In Shift, the wheels are free to spin as the user walks. In Lock, however, they remain locked in place. This means that the user can do things like climbing stairs or even just standing in one place, without worrying about their feet rolling out from underneath them.

【1】What function is expected of Moonwalkers?

A．To walk on the moon more safely.

B．To accelerate the walking speed.

C．To make wearers skate automatically.

D．To provide wearers with timely warning

【2】What does Xunjie Zang think of Moonwalkers?

A．Smart.

B．Demanding.

C．Costly.

D．Risky.

【3】Why does the author ask a question first in paragraph 5?

A．To explain a rule clearly.

B．To further present a fact.

C．To clarify a fashion concept.

D．To make a sound prediction.

【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．Moonwalks Are On Sale

B．The World’s Fastest Walking Shoes

C．The World’s Most Advanced Robotic Company

D．New Rollerskates Come into Existence

22、Why You Shouldn’t Exercise to Lose Weight

Many of us are starting (or restarting) exercise in hopes of losing unwanted pounds. Aiming to be more active is good. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your New Year’s resolution could be very well backfire.

【1】, we often sour on it and stop working out. In a study of 30 overweight people who participated in a 12-week exercise program and were interviewed afterward, this response was typical: “It was quite disappointing that I didn’t lose a single pound.【2】.”

Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment—a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say (or said yourself) “I’ll do extra exercise” after eating too much during the holidays or at a celebratory dinner?【3】. As a consequence, we’re unlikely to enjoy it or to keep doing it.

The takeaway is that we see exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight. For some, the motivation may be an improved mood or less stress. Others may find exercise makes them feel physically and mentally stronger.【4】. It can help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, colds, etc. It can also improve sleep, make you energetic, and prevent aging. What’s more, exercise can prevent weight gain and improve your appearance.

【5】. It’s perhaps the most important thing you can do for your health. But to improve the chances of success, focus on how movement helps you feel better physically and emotionally—and forget about how it moves the needle on the scale.

A．It kind of made me give up

B．So by all means, try to exercise regularly in 2022

C．While it’s not very helpful for melting away pounds

D．When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations

E．The benefits of physical activity are well beyond these aspects

F．We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad” in the past

G．For starters, exercise, at least the kind most of us do, is typically ineffective for weight loss

24、In the new year, people resolve to improve themselves. But travel writer Tom Vandebilt didn’t wait for a new year to shake up his world. After watching his daughter play chess, he decided to join her. Emboldened by the experience, Vanderbilt started on his own adult-education study, learning to sing, surf and draw. His aim is to understand what it means for a middle-aged man to learn new skills, and, deeper still, how learning happens. “It’s about small acts of reinvention, at any age, that can make life seem magical,” he writes.

He engages a voice teacher, who eases his fears about his ability. “You should walk into this completely open and think of it as a joyful experience,” she tells him. Good advice for learning anything new.

Then Vandebilt takes up surfing. From the “pop up” from prone position to upright on the board, he learns how to read the signs of the ocean and discovers that it’s a serious pursuit. He is told he needs to “treat surfing as a sport with all the tools involved: a thoughtful skills development plan; video feedback; and drills”. After many missed waves and wipeouts, his first big Costa Rica waves “was an absolute surprise and bliss”, he recalls.

He finds out the key to learning new things is shifting the focus off yourself. With surfing, he learns to look at the shore, not his feet or board. In his drawing classes, the state of “shifting the focus” comes into play as well. Claude Monet counseled, “Try to forget what objects you have before you, a tree, a house, or whatever. Merely think, here is a little square of blue or a rectangle of pink, and paint it just as it looks to you.”

Over the course of his learning journey, he didn’t win any prizes or break new ground. He gained “modest competency”. But he believes doing these things has brought him an immense pleasure. He will encourage himself and others to find delight in developing new or forgotten skills.

【1】What can we learn about Tom Vanderbilt’s adult-education study?

A．He explored the new fields to make his life more magical.

B．“Shifting the focus off yourself” is the only finding he has gained.

C．His learning experience in one field also helps him get through in others.

D．He watched his daughter play chess in order to start his own study.

【2】The underlined words “modest competency” probably mean that Tom Vandebilt acquired ________.

A．many different skills

B．useless techniques

C．excellent performance

D．ordinary ability

【3】Which words can best describe Tom Vandebilt?

A．Ambitious and intelligent.

B．Optimistic and determined.

C．Enterprising and reflective

D．Creative and imaginative.

25、   A new phone app uses vibrations from smart phones to warn people about earthquakes.

The phone app _______ sudden shaking of the earth’s surface through sensors in  smart phones. It is called MyShake. It is the work of four researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. They said they created a worldwide warning system that would _______ people and give them time to prepare. The MyShake app is _______ only for Android phones.

Smart phones are _______ accelerometers (加速度感应器). These instruments measure movement, like that of a car or airplane. MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic (地震的) activity. It has been _______ to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time.

A smart phone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive several notifications _______, it recognizes that an earthquake might be taking place or will take place soon.

Using information sent from the app, the network then _______ the  location and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record magnitude 5.0 earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers or less.

MyShake uses very _______ power, according to its developers. Only when  seismic activity is  _______ by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resting on a ________ surface, like a table.

The developers hope that MyShake can add to information collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. That U.S. agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System, also ________ EEW. The EEW has deployed (部署) sensors for measuring quakes in many areas.

In places where no such equipment ________, MyShake may be the only method of  early quake ________.  The app also shows ways to stay safer during an earthquake. The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it.

“Our goal is to build a worldwide seismic network and use the data to________ the effects of earthquakes on us as individuals and on society as a whole,” say the researchers.

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。

One evening a middle-aged lady was walking down the street when she noticed an old beggar sitting on the corner. The man was elderly, unshaven, and ragged. As he sat there, pedestrians walked by him giving him dirty looks. They clearly wanted nothing to do with him because of who he was - a dirty, homeless man. But when she saw him, the woman was moved to sympathy.

It was very cold that day and the man had his torn coat - more like an old suit coat rather than a warm coat - wrapped around him. She stopped and looked down. “Sir?” she asked. “Are you all right?”

The man slowly looked up. This was a woman clearly accustomed to the finer things of life. Her coat was new. She looked like that she had never missed a meal in her life. His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before. “Leave me alone,” he shouted.

To his amazement, the woman continued standing. She was smiling - her even white teeth displayed in extremely bright rows. “Are you hungry?” she asked.

“No,” he answered ironically. “I've just come from dining with the president. Now go away.”

The woman's smile became even broader. Suddenly the man felt a gentle hand under his arm. “What are you doing, lady?” the man asked angrily. “I said to leave me alone.”

Just then a policeman came up. “Is there any problem, ma'am?” he asked.

“No problem here, officer,” the woman answered. “I'm just trying to get this man to his feet. Will you help me?”

The officer scratched his head. “That's old Jack. He's been a fixture around here for a couple of years. What do you want with him?”

“See that cafeteria over there?”she asked. “I'm going to get him something to eat and get him out of the cold for a while.”

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。

“Are you crazy, lady?” the homeless man resisted.
