A(2022·山东青岛高三联考) I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for, Alice, had gone through a difficult time.She got dementia_and so she had been in the hospital twice.In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”．Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas Day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days.When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad.Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy.I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were.We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in.Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.【解题导语】老人的女儿不能回来陪老人一起过圣诞节，作者便在平安夜带老人去有老人生疏的伴侣的老社区教堂，在那里，作者看到了老人脸上幸福的笑容，这也是作者得到的最好的礼物。

It has been held twice.D. It can be paid in credit card.22.What can people do in the Crow’s Nest?A. Enjoy tacos.B. Talk with artists and foodies.C. Watch the sunrise on the beach.D. Watch the performance of the bands.23. Which activity can be booked on the Internet?A. The Crow’s Nest.B. Bargetto Winery.C. Chaminade Resort & Spa.D. Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park.BAt just 40 years old, hip-hop star Kasseem Dean, more popularly known as Swizz Beatz, has amassed （积累）a track record, lifestyle and nearly $ 70 million net worth that would inspire most of us to retire early. So why does Dean continue to both work extremely hard and try projects that come with the risk of rejection?During our interview for Uncommon Drive, a video series for USA & Main that seeks to find out the motivations and magic of world-class business people, Dean provided a memorable answer: “You only have so much time —once it’s gone you don’t get it back. Don’t focus on money; focus on building something great er than yourself. If you’re not making history, you’re wasting your time on Earth.”When you look at his answer, you will learn two important lessons. The first is in “making history”. Doing so requires awareness. You must fully understand what has and has not been achieved in the market you’ve entered. Dean makes every effort with the goal of creating something important that has not beendone before and will be remembered for its impact beyond his years.The second part of his statement is just as powerful. In this interview, he never once said he is “trying” to make history. Instead, he has told himself that no matter what difficulty there is, it’s just going to happen. “I’m going to make history.” Dean said.After talking to Dean for nearly 45 minutes, it was clear to me that he has removed all ego（自我）from a statement that might otherwise be misread as false pride. I believe it’s a brilliant hack —rather than focus on all the reasons why a project can’t be re alized, he has convinced himself of the possibility.24. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To list an example.B. To offer an explanation.C. To lead to the main topic.D. To make a summary.25. What motivates Dean to continue to work hard?A. His desire to be famous.B. His wish to be wealthy.C. His life goal to leave his mark on history.D. His adventurous spirit and imagination.26. What can we learn about Dean in the interview?A. He takes a pride in his work.B. He always believes in himself.C. He can predict the possibility.D. He gets prepared for his career.27. What’s the title of the text?A. How does Kasseem Dean face rejection?B. Why doesn’t Kasseem Dean want to retire?C. How does Kasseem Dean make history?D. What makes Kasseem Dean work hard?CThe world’s top automakers（汽车制造商）are increasingly offering more electric car models. This growth is expected to continue, with more people choosing to hit the road with clean- running electric cars.Environmentalists have praised the automakers for taking major steps to limit harmful pollutants linked to worldwide climate change.But electric cars are also known for not producing another kind of pollution — noise. They run on batteries instead of fuels, and can operate in silence.While many people might consider this a good thing, quiet cars can also cause problems. The main danger is that people around electric vehicles face a greater risk of being hit if they cannot hear the cars coming.Governments in the United States and Europe have recognized this problem. So they have set requirements for automakers to add warning sounds to electric vehicles. The U.S. Department of Transportation finalized its rules a year ago. The rules require electric and hybrid （混合物）cars to be equipped with some warning sounds when moving at a speed of up to 30 kilometers per hour. The rules are aimed at preventing injuries among people walking or riding bicycles and protecting the blind.So what kind of sound can we expect to hear from the next generation of electric cars? One of the easiest solutions would be for carmakers to reproduce the sound of a traditional car running on fuels. But many industry officials believe this would be a mistake.They say this would not support electric cars’ true identity. Frank Welsch, the head of technical development at Volkswagen, said that finding the perfect sound mix is not an easy process. He said, “It cannot be too annoying. It cannot sound like anything we had in the past.” An official from Me rcedes-Benz said the sound was designed to provide a safe warning without annoying passengers inside the car. He said the goal was to create a car that remains completely quiet inside.It might seem strange to think that part of our automotive future is currently being developed in the same kinds of recording studios used by musicians. But that is exactly what is happening.28. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The main advantages of electric cars.B. The useful ways to improve electric cars.C. The autom akers’ effort to limit pollutants.D. The effect of climate change on the car industry.29. Why are sounds required to be added to electric cars?A. To add functions.B. To increase sales.C. To prevent injuries.D. To make cars smarter.30. What kind of sound is suitable for electric cars?A. The sound similar to that of a traditional car.B. The sound not troubling people inside cars.C. The sound matching cars’ identity.D. The sound chosen from recorded ones.31. Where does the text probably come from?A. A newspaper.B. An advertisement.C. A science report.D. A research plan.DDid you ever wonder why you have no memory of when you were a baby or very young child? The question of why adults do not remember how they learned to walk or talk has long been a mystery. Researchers at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States are looking into this question.The study contained computer-based tests. The tests weredesigned to work like games. They were given to 32 four-year-olds, 32 six-year-olds and 50 young adults. The tests measured the memory process that helps people recognize differences between experiences. For example: A walk with your dog when you saw a friend, and a different walk without your dog or when you did not see your friend.The second test was showing the children and young adults taking the test a number of photographs. They were asked to compare the first group of photos with a second set of pictures. Sometimes, the two sets of photos were the same. But other times, they were different.The results showed that in both tests, six-year-olds showed far better memory than four-year-olds. That might help explain why adults do not remember when they learned to walk or talk, but they do remember their third, fourth or fifth birthdays.“We don’t have any memories in the first two years of life, and al l of a sudden we’re able to form these memories for something going on in early childhood or middle childhood. That’s very interesting,” said Zoe Ngo.Researchers said doing some research on the memory is of great value as doctors are trying to develop a c ure for Alzheimer’s disease. People with the disease suffer memory loss. For some people, memory loss is just for recent events. People may not remember what they did that morning, but remember experiences from 50 years ago. But memory loss research is not limited to helping patients with Alzheimer’s disease. It could also help find ways to get better and more reliable information about how to improve people’s memory.32. What do the researchers draw their attention to?A. Why people fail to complete simple tasks.B. Why people find it hard to learn special memory skills.C. Why people cannot recall their first few years of life.D. Why people have trouble forgetting past painful experiences.33. What is the purpose of the second test?A. To check how people remember differences in objects.B. To explain why people have better memory than before.C. To prove when people show interest in beautiful pictures.D. To show where people would like to take different photos.34. What can we infer from what Zoe Ngo said?A. People are willing to share good old days.B. People are likely to remember past special events.C. People are afraid of getting unexpected bad results.D. People are more concerned about their happy childhood.35. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?A. The way to deal with memory loss.B. The importance of memory research.C. The possibility of collecting information.D. The measures to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2022高考英语二轮专项总复习（全国通用版）－百日阅读强化练习（1）AIt's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message bees clear: "R U awake?"Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a puter, a TV and three video-game consoles (操纵台) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices.w w w .x k b Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.Often, kids multitas k, or use more than one device at a time. " If you’ve got a chance to do something on your puter and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You’ve got to work on it. "Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. " But parents might have to step in sometimes. "56. Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?A. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.B. Because more electronic devices are available to them.C. Because they have less other activities.D. Because they have less homework to do.57. It is known from the passage that ____.A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night textB. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past five yearsC. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studiesD. Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids' increasing use of mobile devices58. Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the passage?A. Playing video games on the Internet.B. Talking on the phone while staying with others.C. Watching TV while using the puter.D. Listening to music while relaxing.59. The underlined phrase "in check" in the last paragraph can be replaced by "____".A. in orderB. in controlC. in storeD. in sightBIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are being horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest men would bee fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oning cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.60．According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .A．road conditions B．the behavior of the driversC．the speed of modern life D．the large number of cars61．In the writer’s opinion, .A．unskillful drivers should be punishedB．strict traffic rules are badly neededC．drivers should show road politeness properlyD. drivers should avoid traffic jams62．The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .A．politeness and impolitenessB．good manners and bad mannersC．willingness to give in to each other’s wishesD．offering help to others as much as possible63．What is the best title of the passage?A．Traffic Problems B．Road PolitenessC．Bad Manners on the Road D．Good Drivers and Bad DriversCClimate change，pollution，overuse of water and developmen t are killing some of the world’s most famous rivers including China’s Yangtze．India’s Ganges and Africa’s Nile．WWF said on Tuesday．At the global launch of its report “World’s Top 10 Rivers at Risk”，the group said many rivers could dry out. affecting hundreds of millions of people and killing unique aquatic(水生的)life．“If these rivers die，millions will lose their livelihoods，biodiversity(生物多样性)will be destroyed on a massive scale，there will be less fresh water and agriculture，resulting in less food security，”said．Rayi Singh，secretary—general of WWF—India．The report,launched aheadof“World Water Day”today，alsocited the Rio Grande in．the United States，the Mekong and Indus in Asia，Europe’s Danube, La Plata in South America and Australia’s Murray—Darling as in need of greater protection．Rivers are the world’s main source of fresh water and WWF says about half of the available supply is already being used up．Dams have destroyed habitats and cut rivers off from their flood plains．while climate change could affect the seasonal water flows that feed them，the report said．Fish populations，the top source of protein and overall life support for hundreds of thousands of munities worldwide，are also being threatened, it found．The Yangtze basin is one of the most polluted rivers in the world because of decades of heavy industrialization，damming and huge influxes(流入)of seaiment(积淀)from land conversion.Climate change，including higher temperatures，also means serious consequences for fishery productivity，water supply a nd political security in Africa’s arid Nile basin．Tributaries(支流)flowing into the Ganges are drying up because of irrigation，WWF said．64．We can infer from the text that _____.A．higher temperatures couldn’t affect fishery productivityB．rivers’dyi ng out could affect food securityC．there are four Asian rivers mentioned in the passageD．the Yangtze is polluted thanks to the lack of enough tributaries65．The top 10 rivers are fast dying as a result of the following EXCEPT _____.A. climate change B．pollution C．wasting water D．dams66．WWF is probably a name of _____.A．a magazine B．a newspaper C．an organization D．a reportDTwenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.67．What is the main idea of the passage?A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.C. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.D. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.68．Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?A. Girls are more emotional than boys.B. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.D. Girls have more brain cells than boys.69．Which of the following does the author believe?A. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.B. Girls need more training in munication.C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.D. Sex differences should be ignored in education。

"Random act of kindness：gather these necessities in a plastic bag and keep them in your car to give away when you see someone in need." Garner wrote in her post."A pair of thick socks.Kleenex.Hand wipes.Disposable toothbrushes.Add ﹩5，﹩10，﹩20 and a smile," she added.Garner's video received a warm response from social media users with several promising to adopt the practice of handing out zip-up plastic bags with necessities to those in need."I did this several Christmases back and I honestly don't know who got more out of it.I was walking on air after.It felt amazing," commented @themindful88. "This is brilliant and deeplykind.Adopting this immediately," wrote @fionastiles.Aside from using the platform to promote the idea of being kind to those around us,Garner also practices it in real life by performing kind gestures for random people.According to TODAY，in a video shared on her Instagram Story earlier this month,the star purchased coffee for customers at Starbucks and tipped employees."These random acts of kindness are happening all around us,all the time,everywhere," Garner told PEOPLE.The smallest acts-picking up trash at a local park,volunteering at a shelter,buying a cup of coffee for someone who needs it-make the world a happier and gentler place...Kindness is contagious（有感染力的），truly."4.How did Jennifer Garner try to influence other people______A.

She does the kindness to make the world different.CIn a brave move.the World Heart Federation（WHF）released a policy brief Thursday saying that no amount of alcohol is good for the heart."At the WHF.we decided that it was important that we speak up about alcohol and the damage to health.as well as its social and economic harm.because there is an impression in thepopulation in general.and even among health care professionals.that it is good for the heart." said Beatriz Champagne.chair of the advocacy committee that produced the report.Critics（批评者）argued about the federation's view.saying that it was ignoring the studies that do show a small benefit to some heart conditions when a moderate（适量的）amount of alcohol is consumed."It is really strange that their conclusion should be that" no amount of alcohol is good for the heart'." said Emmanuela Gakidou.a professor at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. "The statement by the WHF is not supported by the scientific evidence currently available." The American Heart Association.which is a member of the federation.says "moderation is key" when it comes to alcohol.which is defined（定义）as no more than one drink a day for women and two for men.Dr.Mariell Jessup.the chief science and medical officer for the AHA.told CNN in an email that "we concluded that if one doesn't drink alcohol.do not start；if one does drink alcohol.limit the amount."The WHF has called for a 10% relative reduction in the per capita use of alcohol between 2013 and 2030.but the report said a lack of investment in proven alcohol reduction methods.in addition to misinformation from the industry.has prevented progress toward that goal."The description of alcohol as necessary for social life has drawn people's attention from the harm of alcohol use.as have the frequent and widely publicized claims that moderate drinking.such as a glass of red wine a day.can offer protection against cardiovascular disease," said Monika Arora.a member of the WHF Advocacy Committee.8.What did the critics try to stress？______A. The necessity of limiting alcohol.B. The popularity of drinking alcohol.C. The problems with limiting alcohol.D. The advantages of drinking moderate alcohol.9.What's Emmanuela Gakidou's attitude to the statement made by the WHF？______A. Unclear.B. Favorable.C. Carefree.D.

A health magazine.B. A financial report.C. A hi-tech advertisement.D. A book review.DArctic sea ice has been steadily decreasing since the beginning of satellite records in 1979，but a new study comes with a chilling prediction：By the end of this century,Arctic sea ice may disappear during the summer,which could drive polar bears and other ice-dependent species to extinction（灭绝）.The "Last Ice Area" is a region containing the oldest,thickest Arctic ice.It spans an area of more than 1 million square kilometers from the western coast of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago to Greenland's northern coast.When scientists named the 4-meter-thick ice region,they thought it would last for decades.But now,under both the most optimistic and pessimistic scenarios（情形）for warming linked to climate change,the sea ice will severely thin by 2050.The most optimistic scenario,in which carbon emissions（排放）are immediately to prevent the worst warming,could result in a limited part of the ice surviving in the region.In the most pessimistic scenario,in which emissions continue at their current rate of increase,the summer ice-and the polar bears and seals that live on it-could disappear by 2100，researchers reported in a new study."Unfortunately,this is a massive experiment we're doing," study co-author Robert Newton,a senior research scientist at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory,said in a statement. "If the year-round ice goes away,entire ice-dependent ecosystems will break apart,and something new will begin."As carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases increasingly contribute to the warming of the atmosphere,the past 15 years has brought the lowest 15 sea-ice extents（范围）in the satellite record,according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center（NSIDC）.Worse still,the NSIDC reports that the amount of older,thicker Arctic ice that has survived at least one melt season is at a record low.A more noticeable decrease in ice coverage could have a serious effect on the lives of the creatures that live on,or under,the shifting ice network,including photosynthetic algae,tiny crustaceans,fish,seals,narwhals,bowhead whales and polar bears.12.What will be a great threat to the ice-dependent species in the Arctic according to thestudy______A. The cold weather.B. The increasing competitors.C. The loss of their natural living environment.D. The serious pollution of the ocean water there.13.What does the underlined word "curbed" in paragraph 3 mean？______A. Recorded.B. Controlled.C. Determined.D. Predicted.14.What does the author intend to express in the last paragraph？______A. His concern about the Arctic creatures' future.B. His surprise at the great amount of Arctic ice.C. His curiosity about the reasons for low sea-ice extents.D. His doubt about the obvious decrease in ice coverage.15.What can be the best title for the text______A. Small Ice Coverage Has Negative EffectsB. Polar Bears Could Become ExtinctC. Greenhouse Gases Lead to Global WarmingD. "Last Ice Area" Is on the Decrease二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Social scientists believe storytelling made up 80 percent of the fireside conversations of our ancestors.The firelight talk might have started 400，000 years ago,but our brains are still excited for stories today. (1) .PowerPoint has replaced drawing pictures on a cave wall.But one thing hasn't changed-our desire to hear interesting stories.(2) .According to Princeton University neuroscientist Uri Hasson,a person who tells wonderful stories can actually plant ideas,thoughts,and emotions into a listener's brain.The art of storytelling is your most powerful weapon in the war of ideas.The most inspiring leaders in history were storytellers：John F.Kennedy,Martin Luther King Jr.，Ronald Reagan,Nelson Mandela,Henry Ford,and Steve Jobs. (3) ：Bill Gates,Richard Branson,Mark Burnett,and Sheryl Sandberg.Many of the storytellers have changed the course of history.Some are business heroes.Some have inspired movements.

(5) .We tell stories to sell our ideas.We tell stories to educate students.We tell stories to motivate teams.We tell stories to encourage our children to reach their full potential.Learn to tell a story and your life and the lives of those you touch will be completely transformed.A.We're all storytellersB.Of course,the tools have changedC.Above all,they are all dream makersD.We've been sharing stories for thousands of yearsE.It's very important for us to learn the storytellers' secretsF.Many of today's most inspiring business leaders are also storytellersG.Those who are good at telling stories have a great influence over others16.

A(2021·吉林长春市第三次质检)Raised in a motherless home，my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children.His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college.I had to ride the bus whenever I came home.Though the bus stopped about two miles from home，Dad never met me，even in severe weather.If I grumbled，he’d say in his loudest father­voice，“That’s what your legs are for！”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads.I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety.But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home.When the bus reached the stop，I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedges (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house.Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey，I always had a sense of relief to see the hedges because it meant that I was almost home.On that particular evening，the hedges had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedges，moving toward the house.Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my father’s head.Then I knew，each time I’d come home，he had stood behind the hedges，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely.I swallowed hard against the tears.He did care，after all.On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.Upon reaching home，I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair.“So，my son，it’s you！”he’d say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied，“Yes，Dad，it’s me.I’m home.”【解题导语】本文主要叙述了父亲从小对作者严格要求，从来不曾到车站接过他。

move．Then the scientists built the Pleurobot's framework to move just like the real thing．This makes th e robot's movements unbelievably lifelike．According to experts，salamanders were among the first animals to develop a skeleton and nervous syste m that allowed them to travel on land． "By studying the modern salamander，we have a time window to th e ancestors of all vertebrates （脊椎动物），including humans，" Auke Ijspeert，the leader of the team that de signed the robot，told Scholastic News Online．Both people and salamanders have a spinal cord （脊髓）．An injury to the spinal cord can result in the ina bility to move．Currently，there is no cure for paralysis （瘫痪）．Ijspeert hopes that the Pleurobot can help c hange that．Because everything about the robot is so accurate，Ijspeert's team can study how its movement i s affected by different electrical signals-signals that act similarly to the way the brain controls the spinal cor d in humans．These studies could help researchers develop new ways to help people who have been paralyze d by spinal cord injuries．Scientists think that the Pleurobot could also be used for search-and-rescue work too dangerous for huma ns．Because the robot is low to the ground and has a wide range of movement，it could be used to get into dangerous places，like fallen buildings，to look for survivors．Thanks to its specially made suit，the roboti c salamander could even participate in underwater tasks．Experts at the Swiss Federal Institute are now working on a smaller，sturdier （harder to break） model o f the Pleurobot．They expect this one to be even better suited for getting into small spaces to do dangerou s work．（1）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？A．What inspired scientists to invent the Pleurobot．B．Why scientists developed the Pleurobot．C．How scientists designed the Pleurobot．D．What the Pleurobot looks like．（2）What can we learn about the Pleurobot？A．It can only be used for dangerous tasks．B．It is perfect and easy to control．C．It has been accepted

mean the trendy living space that's ab out the size of a shed （棚）．But you would have to be five inches tall to live in the original tiny houses．Dollhouse（小房子），which have been around for several centuries，don't offer shelter to real people，but they provide a vivid experience of life in times and places both real and imaginary．The National Building Museum in Washington，D．C．，lets visitors time travel in this tiny world through "Small Stories：At Home in a Dollhouse，" an exhibit that opened Saturday．Visitors can see twelve dollhou ses from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London，England，which contain amazing tiny furnishings．But t hose people who put together the exhibit also wanted visitors to know the characters inside．"It's 300 years of British homes told through their inhabitants （居民），" said Alice Sage，who is in charg e of the London museum．So as visitors look inside the Tate Baby House，a fancy townhouse from 1760，they can push a button to h ear a young woman get a lecture from her mother on the proper way to run a home．In the Killer Cabinet ho use，a servant named Betsy complains about the problems of city life in the 1830s． "We've got the cat to ke ep the rats away，" she says．That dollhouse was John Killer's gift to his wife and five daughters．The girls were allowed to play with th e house，but they probably also learned a few lessons，Sage said．"The kitchen of the house would have been the perfect way to teach the girls about the management of a home，" she said，noting the tiny dishes and pots．Those who prefer a more modern look won't be disappointed．There are two rooms displaying a white doll house from 1935，an apartment house from the 1960s and a brightly colored 21st-century design．The end of the exhibit shows how imaginative design sometimes works best in small spaces．The Building Museum asked twenty-four artists，designers and architects from across the United States t o each create a "dream room" from the past，present or future．Some of these unique small rooms were mad e using traditional furnishings，others from materials such as clay，insects，3 D-printing，and even Peeps m arshmallow candies!（1）Which of the following

AThe other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad.She was very well­dressed，carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied make-up indeed，she had an unmistakable air of wealth，material success and even authority.I suspected she worked as a highly­paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort.So，I was curious to see what she was so focused on.The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist?Quite the contrary；rather，she was concentrating on a romance novel.Then I realized that I have known many women who love romance novels—smart，attractive，successful，“liberated，”modern females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic，artificial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome，manly heroes falling in love with virginal women，enduring a series of adventures，then no doubt having a happy ending.These_romance_stories_are_to_literature_what_hot_dogs_are_to_fine_food.Yet，the genre(体裁) remains enormously popular.Consider some of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America (RWA)：*More than 9，000 romance titles were released last year，with sales of about $1.44 billion (more than triple the revenues generated by classic literary fiction)．*More than 90 percent of the market are women (okay，that’s not at all surprising)．* Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely women long for these tales of love and adventure)．*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual income of between $50，000 and $99，900 (placing them firmly in the middle class)．I had thought that romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market，so I was quite surprised that this part has such enormous popularity.But I must wonder why so many women—forty years after the women’s liberation movement continue to indulge in the fanciful tales?I’m not sure if it represents a kind of “rejection”of the women’s liberation movement，but clearly something is missing in the lives of contemporary ladies.A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way：“Regency men were civilized and treated women with courtesy.When a lady entered the room，gentlemen stood，doffed their hats，offered an arm，bowed，and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today.But they were also very athletic；they hunted，raced，boxed，rode horses.They were manly.Strong.Noble.Honorable.And that is why I love them！”Mrs.Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitudes of untold millions of her peers—that is，in the early 21st century，have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations that the “freedoms”they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modern feminism? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious，________．【解题导语】落难少女情结：现代女性宠爱阅读言情小说的背后。
