When we moved into our home in Maui, Hawaii, 16 years ago, one good thing about this house was the huge avocado tree (牛油果树) growing in the backyard.

This tree gave the most delicious avocados I have ever tasted. I lived on these avocados when musing my first child. Fresh avocado was the very first food for my kids. This tree was so huge that it cast a massive shadow over our backyard. It was truly our magical tree.

Until one day, someone from the Health Department came to tell us that our avocado tree was too large and needed trimming. In New York you get in trouble if you don’t clear the snow off your sidewalk. Here, it’s when your trees are too high. So along came the trimmer, leaving just the trunk and a few branches. I was sad. The kids were all sad. Some friends who knew it would say, “It’s going to grow back. Your next avocados will be crazy!” Yeah, whatever. The tree is gone, so stop doing that. It just didn’t work.

But a few days later, I noticed some unusual butterflies flying around the yard. And then, the, sun came in the kitchen, creating this pleasant warmth once blocked by the huge tree. After about a month, I started to notice some tiny green shoots coming out of the cut branches, which eventually turned into full-on bright green leaves.

I started to feel like all was going to be fine, kind of like life. Little do we know what seems really difficult is actually life’s way of making us stronger. It’s life’s way of bringing in the butterflies, the sunshine, and the delightful flowers. We all know that saying, “It will be OK in the end. If it’s pot, it’s not the end.”

4. What is mainly conveyed in paragraph 2 about the avocado tree?

A. Her kids’ love for it. B. Its fruit’s good taste.

C. Its benefits for her family. D. Her expectation of it.

5. Why did the author’s friends say the words in paragraph 3?

A. To cheer her up. B. To tease her

C. To show their regret. D. Tu express their excitement.

6. What happened to the avocado tree in the end?

A. It had no branches. B. It blocked the sunshine.

C. It bore more avocados. D. It was full of life again

7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

A. You harvest what you sow.

B. Success won’t come unless you go to it.

C. Luck and Misfortune comes in turn.

D. The important thing in life is to have a dream.

C

Now, an increasing number of cities are suspending recycling services, partly out of fear that workers might contact the coronavirus from one another while sorting through used water bottles, food containers and boxes. One solution: Let robots do the job.

Since the coronavirus took hold in the United States last month, AMP Robotics has seen a “significant” increase in orders for its robots that use artificial intelligence to sort through recycled material, and weed out trash. Some facilities that were looking at getting one or two robots are now saying. “We need quite a bit more.” The Colorado company’s chief executive, Matanya Horowitz said , “It’s all moving quite fast.”

Before the pandemic, automation had been gradually replacing human work in a range of jobs, from call centers to warehouses and grocery stores, as companies looked to cut labor costs and improve profit.

But labor and robotics experts say social-distancing directives, which are likely to continue in some form after the crisis become less strong, could cause more industries to accelerate their use of automation. And long-lasting worries about job losses or a broad unease about having machines control vital aspects of daily life could disappear as society sees the benefits of restructuring workplaces in ways that minimize close human contact.

Recycling is one industry that may be altered permanently by the pandemic. Some workers, who earn as little as $10 an hour, have been concerned about coming to work during the crisis and some cities have been competing to find enough protective gear (防护装备) for all of their employees. Federal health officials have assured them that the risks of transmission from household refuse is low. But workers in recycling facilities often work side by side sorting material, making social distancing difficult

At AMP Robotics, executives like Mr. Horowitz say their robots will enable recycling facilities to space out their employees. who stand at conveyor belts weeding through the used plastic and paper.

8. The underlined word “suspend” in paragraph 1 most probably means ________ .

A. admit B. adopt C. delay D. advocate

9 How do people feel about automation after the pandemic?

A Panicked. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Appreciative.

10. In which aspect will robots help most in recycling industry?

A. Sorting out recycled material. B. Producing enough protective gear.

C. Replacing the jobs of cheap labor. D. Minimizing close human contact

11. What is the text mainly about?

A. Robots cause severe unemployment. B. Pandemic accelerates automation.

C. Recycling industry is changing D. Social distancing is still important.

D

Contrary to “popular opinion”, the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable process. To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. This aspect is similar to art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to increase creative freedom.

“Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable. They both provide a perspective on reality,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. “From the outside, the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy. But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way.”

“Scientists can learn a lot from artists,” says Weijers. “Association and creativity are central to art. Those aspects require more attention in science as the creative process is the key of science.”

“As a scientist, you use different methods, but it is equally about how you visualize(可视化) your understanding of reality and the connections that there are. This is sometimes just as visual as art,” says Weijers. One example is a recent special project in which Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel, professor of Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter, measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular(分子的)sensor was used to visualize the different forces. They showed the results in colorful images, each representing a different force.

What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society. There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science. Weijers says, “It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the process leading to discovery. As a scientist, you are doubted if you say that something is different a few years later. Then you are viewed as unreliable. But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science. What we scientists can achieve in the coming period is to provide more chances for people to focus on the process. Personally, I think that the connection with art can help to lead the focus on the process than the result.”

12. What might be the “popular opinion” about the scientific discovery?

A. It is creative. B. It can be accidental.

C. It allows failures. D. It is predictable.

13. In Dolf Weijers’s view, the artistic process_________.

A. totally differs from the scientific one

B. normally looks formal and controlled

C. offers inspiration for scientific research

D. focuses on putting the messy in order

14. Why does the author mention Dolf Weijers’s research on plant cells?

A. To prove that science can be visualized like art.

B. To stress that understanding science is difficult.

C. To show the value of his scientific achievements.

D. To tell obvious differences between science and art.

15. What does Dolf Weijers say about scientific studies?

A. They have little to do with the discoveries.

B. Their process should be more open to people.

C. They always present unchanged final results.

D. Their focus is not the process but the result.

47. 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。

Snowflakes dancing in the sky, it was an awfully cold winter. Mary felt as gray as the sky outside. She struggled to get by the tough winter because her bills went up while her income went down.

Her refrigerator sat empty. Her only food consisted of peanut butter, bread and bananas, only enough for two sandwiches. Worse still, it would be four days before she got paid. As Mary prepared to sit down and eat half of her remaining food, she heard a knock at the door. Who could it be on such a freezing night?  Robbery scenes from films flashed across her mind. Then Mary shook her head and laughed at her foolish thought-no robber would choose her as a target. Opening the door, she saw a stranger standing outside, body trembling with cold.

“Madam, sorry to disturb you, but I'm lost and get stuck in the snow. Could you please spare a piece of bread?" the stranger asked cautiously and politely in a weak but deep voice.

“I'm afraid not,” said Mary, “but I could make you a peanut butter and banana sandwich.”

“That sounds wonderful,” the stranger answered. "Mind if I wait here on the porch?”

“Yes, I do mind,” Mary replied, "but you could come in and eat it at the table.”

Not expecting both food and warmth, the stranger entered the house eagerly. Mary hurried off to the kitchen for the last four pieces of bread, peanut butter, and bananas. In a few minutes, she returned and invited him to sit down to eat what she could offer. After eating, the man thanked and said goodbye to her.

Looking outside, Mary hesitated a moment and said, "If you don't mind, you can sleep on the sofa.” "That would be good enough," responded the man gratefully.

Mary went into her room, and locked the door. The next morning, when she woke up,  she remembered the man. "How will I tell him I have nothing for breakfast?" she asked herself. She dressed, unlocked, and opened the door slightly.

注意：

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。

To her surprise the man was nowhere to be seen.
