The barn（牛棚）door 43 and out came the biggest bull that he had ever seen. He 44 that one of the next bulls had to be a better 45 than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull 46 .A few 47 later, the barn door opened again. Unbelievable! The young man had never seen any bull so 48 and fierce as this one in his life. It stood there, pawing（扒）the 49 and eyeing the young man. “ What the next 50 was like? It had to be a better choice than this one, ” he thought. He let the bull pass through again.The door opened a third time. A 51 came across the young man’s face. This was the weakest bull that he had ever seen. “ This one was my bull, ” he 52 to himself. As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and 53 at just the exact moment.

Always第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AIt was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet hurt. The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I d idn’t seem able to do anything right. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said,“you’ve looked after us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d liked my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. Praise is like sunlight to human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold criticism （批评）, but are unwilling to give out fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Perhaps that is why one word of praise can bring such pleasure.It’s strange how chary we are about praising. Perhaps it’s because few of us know how to accept it. It’s especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed．An artist gets admired for a glorious （关荣的）picture，a cook for a perfect meal．But do you ever tell your laundry （洗衣房）manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? In fact，to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort．56．Which of the following can’t describe the writer’s situa tion before she got her tip?A. She was tired．B. She was busy．C. She was sorry．D.She was confident．57．According to the passage，which of the following is least likely to be given praise?A．An artist．B．A cook．C．A waitress．D．A laundry manager．58. The underlined word “chary” in Paragraph 2 means________.A．cautious B．careful C．unwilling D．greedy 59．What is the best title of the passage?A．Why Do You Praise Others?B．Why do You Criticize Others?C．Be Generous to Give Others Praise!D．Don’t Criticize Others!BDear Students,I am delighted to be your guest.I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake, in one place. I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescuer workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone （经历）twenty operations and spent nearly hiswhole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.60. The underlined word “ famine ” in Paragraph 2 means __________.A. pleasureB. joyC. luckD. extreme lack of food61. What can we learn about Rosa ?A. She’s a rich lady and she likes to help the homeless children.B. She’s a kind-hearted woman and she provides houses for the homeless children.C. She’s a great mother and she looks after the homeless children.D. She’s a good teacher and she teaches the homeless children.62. The speaker is giving a speech to students in __________.A. ChinaB. CanadaC. TurkeyD. India63. For what does the speaker admire the Turkish woman and the Chinese boy?A. Their bravery.B. Their strong mind.C. Their age.D. Their luck.CA simple flower made headlines in the British press last week. How could that be? British Prime Minister David Cameron and his ministers were attending a reception hosted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. They insisted on wearing poppies (罂粟花) in their buttonholes.What's wrong with that?According to the Global Times, Chinese officials clearly had asked the UK delegation not to wear poppies. The British said that poppies meant a great deal to them on that day and they would wear them all the same.So what's the importance of the poppy? It's a flower which has different cultural and symbolic meanings for British and Chinese people.From the Chinese point of view, the poppy is a symbol of China's humiliation at the hands of European powers in the Opium Wars of the 19th century. Britain forced China to open the borders to trade —including in the opium —which was made from poppies grown in India.Yet from the British viewpoint the poppy is a reminder of the killing during World War Ⅰ. Red poppies grew on the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium where many thousands of British soldiers died or were buried. Since then, Poppy Day (November 11 ) has become a time in the UK to wear poppies and remember the sacrifices of British soldiers and civilians in times of war.So you can see that the poppy sets off strong feelings in the hearts of Chinese and British people for different reasons.And it makes sense for us to try to understand each other's standpoint(立场).Of course cultural differences can also be interesting and funny. And what one nation thinks is an acceptable gift may be viewed differently by their guest from overseas. US PresidentBarack Obama gave a gift of an iPod to Britain's Queen — a dull person with no interest in music. Obama also presented Gordon Brown with a fine selection of American movies. But they were in US format （模式）and impossible to play on British DVD players.Many countries have diplomats（外交官）stationed overseas. Diplomats provide information and advice to their governments back home. However, sometimes it would seem that even diplomats can overlook （忽视）the cultural importance of a small flower.64．British Prime Minister David Cameron probably attended a reception in Beijing on ________.A．October 1 B．November 11C．December 31 D．January 165．The poppy reminds the Chinese of________.A．the shame caused by European countries in the 19th centuryB．the British soldiers who were killed and buried during World War ⅠC．the Chinese soldiers killed during World War ⅡD．the suffering caused by Britain during World War Ⅰ66．The diplomatic（外交的）problem in Beijing is mainly caused by ___.A．the translation mistake B．the language difference C．the cultural difference D．the different lifestyle 67．We can infer that ________.A．Britain's Queen is not interested in artB．Gordon Brown was fond of American movies US President Barack Obama sent himC．US President Barack Obama received a gift for musicD．Britain's Queen may not like the iPod US President Barack Obama presented herDWork is very important to Americans, and most take pride in their work. Americans are expected to be dedicated(有奉献精神的) workers, prepared to work long, hard hours. Americans tend to evaluate each other by the jobs they do, so it is common to hearpeople ask each other what they “do” for a living when they areToday, perhaps more than ever, Americans love to work and expect great rewards both material and emotional from their occupations . Most Americans, therefore, want their jobs to be interesting, rewarding, and, if possible, challenging andevenAmericans work long hours. The average American works about forty hours a week, but many professionals work much longer hours; many work more than sixty hours per week. Some people feel many Americans are now too work-conscious(职业敏感的) and neglecting their homes, spouses(配偶), and children. Competitive organizations place much pressure on their employees, as they are demanding, and rarely give them more than two or three weeks of paid vacation. Most Americans are considered “stressed” at work—— and often at home——as theyWhile many workers do enjoy their work, some do not. And while many professions and jobs are fun and rewarding, many are not. To compensate (补偿) for boring, unsatisfying jobs many Americans devote time to hobbies, to forming friendships, and tosocial, religious, sports and political activities.B. Americans want jobs not only easily done but alsowellC. Americans want to doD. Jobs that are interesting and well paid are popular in America.69. From the passage, we know that if you don’t enjoy your work much,B. you’d better stop workinD. you can’t ask your boss for two or three weeks of paid vacation70. The best title of the passage isA. Salaries and WorkC. Americans and WorkD. Family and Work 第二节 任务型阅读根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并填在答题卷上。

It looks as if it could flap its colorful wings and fly free from its white cloth background.This 55-year-old embroiderer from Guizhou Province was born in a closed andunderdeveloped village deep in the mountains, where most residents live by farming or as migrant workers (农民工). Losing her left arm at a very young age meant she could not feed herself, but she refused to become downhearted, and learned embroidery from her mother diligently and determinedly.After producing several works featuring butterflies and goldfish, she won many national professional skills awards in 2011 among people with disabilities. In 2012, she opened her workshop, with embroiderers putting their designs on the shelves to sell to locals, but business was poor.However, Liang's career prospered after an online commercial order. Now, clothes, ties, paintings and handicrafts produced by the workshop are sold to consumers worldwide via e-commerce platforms, with profit reaching from 300,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan annually As the number of orders rose, Liang employed more workers, offering jobs to more than 100 female embroiderers in the neighborhood. She has also organized training courses for jobless women. “Thanks to the online buyers, our products sell well, which has changed our lives and brought us income and dignity,” Liang said.Wang Danqing, an online seller, has worked with Liang's team since 2015. She said, “Many young consumers prefer products with cultural elements and personal appeal. Only by combining embroidered designs with modern life can cultural heritage be seen, loved, protected and passed down.”24. What do we know about Liang Zhongmel?A. She was brought up in a well-off environment.B. She made a fortune when her business began.C. She became world-famous after winning awards.D. She was strong-willed while learning embroidery.25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 4?A. went wrong.B. took off.C. held steady.D. broke down.26. What can we learn from Wang Danqing's words?A. New designs need to be integrated into the products.B. Expanding the range of product sales online is crucial.C. It is Liang's duty to pass on the embroidered technique.D. Products with personal elements are favored by the youth.27. What is the main idea of the text?A. Online shopping gains popularity in China.B. Young people take a great interest in embroidery.C. Disabled Liang achieved success by trading embroidery online.D. Liang became an expert in embroidery despite her disability.CHarvesting fruit is a very precise operation. The fruit must be picked when it is perfectly ripe. But with pickers in short supply in recent years, growers needed to quickly find another way to harvest their crops. Tevel Aerobotics Technologies came to the farmers' rescue with the Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) that can help pick fruit.“Not finding enough fruit pickers is every farmer's biggest concern,” Yaniv Maor, Tevel's founder and CEO said. Ask any farmer, anywhere in the world and they'll tell you they don't have the people. Food consumption is increasing, but labor availability (劳动力可用性) is decreasing. If pickers are not available,fruit will go bad bn the trees. The flying robots will work day and night in almost any weather, without taking a break, to pick as much ripe fruit as possible.Maor set up Tevel in 2017 and developed the technology after seeing young Israelis pick fruit and get tired after a few hours. He realized that there had to be a better way, so he began developing the software and artificial intelligence (AI) that are needed for the smart robot pickers. “We have to teach the robots about the structure of each fruit, how to access the fruit and how to rotate (转动) it and disconnect it from the tree,” Maor said.The flying robots circle round trees and pick only the ripe ones with a twist(扭动) of their integrated grasper arms. The robots are fitted with cameras that use AI to assess the size and colorof the fruit so that only the ripe ones are picked. The cameras also ensure that, the robots' paths are not blocked.The robots are currently picking Asian pears in Israel. In 2022, the FARs were used in pilot programs in Italy to pick peaches and other fruits, as well as in the US. They are not a replacement for labor, instead, they are a solution fer the inadequate human pickers. In the future fewer people will work in picking and more will work in managing the robots, analyzing the data and making decisions.18. Why are the FARs developed?A. To meet the shortage of pickers to pick fruit.B. To improve the software and AI for smart robots.C. To help farmers keep the fruit in perfect condition.D. To relieve farmers from the tiredness of picking fruit.29. What can we infer from paragraphs 2 and 3?A. Maor developed the FARs out of curiosity.B. The FARs can produce more fruit for food consumption.C. Labor shortage is an urgent problem in every country.D. The FARs can work without stop in almost any weather.30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. How the robots work.B. What the robots consist of.C. Why the robots are useful.D. Where the robots are used.31. What is the author's attitude towards the FAR?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Worried.D. Unclear.DTourists visiting La Gomera and El Hierro in the Canary Islands can often hear locals communicating over long distances by whistling--not a tune, but the Spanish language. The locals are communicating in Silbo, a whistled Spanish language.Whistled languages are almost developed in rough, mountainous regions or in thick forest. That's because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting. As a result, whistled speech can be understood up to 10.times as far away as ordinary shouting. That lets people communicate even when they cannot easily approach close enough to shout. On La Gomera, for example, a few traditional shepherds(牧羊人) still whistle to one another across mountain valleys that could take hours to cross.Whistled languages work because many of the key elements of speech can be produced in a whistle, says Meyer. We distinguish (区分) one, speech sound from another by small differences in their sound frequency patterns. A long e, for example, is formed higher in the mouth than a long o, giving it a higher sound.To language scientists, such languages are more than just a curiosity. By studying whistled languages,they hope to learn more about how our brains get meaning from the complex sound patterns of speech. Whistling may even provide a chance to know one of the most dramatic jump forward in human evolution(进化): the origin of language itself.Despite their interest to both language experts and casual observers, whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world, and some, such as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexico, have already disappeared.
