Mark asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Mark’s father knew that few boys would want someone like Mark, mentally and physically disabled, on their team, but the father still approached to ask the boys if Mark could play. They exchanged glances with each other and said, “We’ll try to put him in to bat.”
Mark struggled over to the team’s bench and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.
In the bottom of the final inning, Mark was scheduled to be at bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Mark missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Mark. As the pitch came in, Mark swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman, but he just threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates. The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Mark, run to first!” Never in his life had Mark ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.
By the time Mark rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.
All were screaming. “Mark, run to third.” As Mark rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Mark, run home！”Mark ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team. Tears rolled down the father’s cheeks.
That day, the boys from both teams helped bring true love and humanity into this world.
24. Why did Mark’s father, not expecting much, still asked if Mark could join the team?
A. Because he noticed some of the boys on the field were friendly.
B. Because he knew some of the boys on the field knew Mark well.
C. Because he understood Mark did need a feeling of being accepted.
D. Because he guessed Mark’s disability would affect the boys’ decision.
25. What does the underlined word “intentions” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The pitcher wanted to help Mark win the game.
B. The pitcher pretended to throw the ball high and far.
C. The pitcher looked forward to winning the game for his team.
D. The pitcher had intended to throw the ball to the first baseman.
26. Which has nothing to do with Mark’s becoming the hero for his team?
A. Some of the opposing players ran to help him.
B. The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.

B. Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents.
C. The results of the game should not be the only concern of the players.

C
When robots and humans interact in a shared environment, it is important for them to move in ways that prevent conflicts or accidents. To reduce the risk, roboticists have developed numerous techniques that monitor an environment, predict the future actions of humans, identify safe trajectories（轨迹）for a robot and control its movements accordingly.
Predicting human behavior and movements, however, can be incredibly challenging. Determining the future movements of a robot, on the other hand, could be far easier. If human users could anticipate the movements of robots and the effects these will have on the surrounding environment, they should then be able to easily adapt their actions in order to avoid accidents .
With this in mind, researchers at Kyushu University in Japan recently created a near-future perception system named Previewed Reality that allows human users to forecast future changes in their environment, which could then inform their decisions and guide their actions. This system compiles a data-set containing information about the position of objects, humans and robots within the same environment, to then produce simulations（模拟）of events that could take place in the near future. These simulations are presented to human users via Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) headsets.
To collect information about the position of different objects, robots, and humans in a shared environment, the researchers used a number of strategically placed sensors, including optical trackers that monitored the movements of objects or robots, and a RGB-D camera which mainly tracked human actions. The data gathered by the sensors was then fed to a motion planner and a dynamics simulator. Combining these two system components allowed the researchers to forecast changes in a given environment and synthesize（合成）images of events that are likely to occur in the near future, from the viewpoint of a specific human. Human users could then view these synthesized images simply through a VR headset or an AR display.
“This system provides human-friendly communication between a human and a robotic system.” the researchers explained. In their next studies, they plan to expand and simplify the perception system, for instance by creating a lighter and more affordable version that can be accessed on smart phones or other portable devices.
28. Why did the researchers develop the system?
A. To predict future changes in human behavior.
B. To record developments in the field of robotics.
C. To enhance safety of human-robot interactions.
D. To make good use of virtual reality technology.
29. What is special about Previewed Reality?
A. It simulates near-future events via VR headsets.
B. It enables human users to perceive future events.
C. It guides robots to track humans’ movements easily.
D. It helps determine the location information of objects.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Functions of various sensors.
B. New ways to synthesize images.
C. The structure of Previewed Reality .
D. The working process of Previewed Reality.
31. What might the researchers do in the future?
A. Promote the new version through advertising.
B. Test this perception system with smart phones.
C. Apply some new techniques to robotic systems.
D. Make the system accessible on portable devices.

D
There are some things money can’t buy. Education, however, does not appear to be among them—at least as measured by performance on international exams. A new study by Harvard University offers strong evidence that the wealth of a country affects exam results just as much as the wealth of a pupil’s household does. On average, pupils in wealthy countries obtain vastly higher test scores than those in developing ones.
Evaluating test scores around the world is harder than it sounds. Although pupils in the rich world mostly take one of a few big international exams, many developing countries rely on regional tests, making apples-to-apples comparisons impossible.
Researchers organized an exam in 2016 for 2,314 children in India, which included both questions from the leading tests and ones taken from smaller exams. Using answers from the same pupils on the same day to questions from different tests, they built a statistical model they called a “Rosetta Stone”. It can translate scores from a range of exams—such as one used only in west Africa—into an equal mark on other common international tests.
They then used these equations（等式）to estimate how pupils in 80 different countries would fare on the benchmark（基准）Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Their data show that the wealth of a student’s country and family have similar impacts on test scores—meaning that big gaps in GDP per person matter more than small ones in household income do. For example, pupils from families that are very poor by rich-world standards—those earning $5,000 a year—are expected to score around 500 out of 1,000 on the TIMSS in America, and 560 in Japan. In contrast, those whose parents make $10,000 a year in an upper-middle income country can only get the equivalent（等价物）of a 475.
The influence of parental earnings is not constant. Rich people tend to educate their children privately in places where wealth is concentrated, such as Brazil. However, in countries with relatively flat income distributions, like Croatia, pupils from different social classes are more likely to attend the same schools. This could reduce the impact of family wealth on test scores.
32. Why is it hard to evaluate the exam scores on a global level?
A. Because the types of exams vary with countries.
B. Because many rich countries refuse regional tests.
C. Because the wealth of a country affects exam results.
D. Because no international exam is available to poor areas.
33. Why did the researchers establish a “Rosetta Stone”?
A. To integrate different exams into a common one.
B. To evaluate different exams with distinct approaches.
C. To fix the standard of the exams in different countries.
D. To turn scores of different exams into an equivalent mark.
34. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Poor students tend to be academically superior to rich ones.
B. Students from rich families will definitely get higher grades.
C. The influence of family income on students is related to circumstances.
D. People with high social status are more likely to educate their children privately.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Education is something money can’t buy.
B. The wealth of a country matters for education.
C. Family income plays an important role in education.
D. A statistical model helps to evaluate the exam scores.

One morning last week I looked out of my study window and saw that it was a fine day. No, it was a wonderful day: the sun shone down from a sky without even a single cloud. But later that day, hard at work at my desk, I heard a loud noise on the roof. Turning to the window, I saw that the sky was now the color of charcoal. Two minutes later the rain poured, making rivers of water.

Until a few years ago, I was a calm person. If you were going to offend me or verbally 41 me, I almost never lost temper 42 ; of course I felt hurt, but I didn’t show it.
Then, one day, I met my husband and I fell in love with him, a proud 43 who loudly discusses things even with himself when he’s not happy. Things, however, got worse for me when we started 44 on things. He seemed really angry while I seemed polite. Truth is that I was 45 too, but I was used to not showing it on the outside. Fight after fight, he always acted as if nothing had happened a few minutes after each quarrel, while my moments of 46 discontent started to expand until they became hours, sometimes even days.
I felt this had to change and the conversation went 47 like this:
Me: “Either you change your 48 when we fight or I will start avoiding any discussion, otherwise this will 49 our relationship.”
Him: “Did you 50 the Mpemba Effect? If you put two 51 containers filled with the same amount of the same water into the freezer except that one has boiling water in it while the other one has water at ambient(周围的) 52 , the boiling water will 53 faster than the ambient water. Baby, you got to boil first, to cool down faster. That’s why the Italians live longer than Canadians.”
The connection he suggested is to be 54 , but I have learned a fact I didn’t know, one that has inspired me to understand that if I’m angry about something or someone, for that anger to disappear, it has to be towards the outside or otherwise it is like hiding 55 under the carpet: your house might look clean, but it is not.

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 week of Lily’s middle school. The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn't think others would like her.
Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的)face, she felt hopeless and disappointed.
“Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story.
“OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher's voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class.
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。

Paragraph 1:A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again.


Paragraph 2:After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time.

One possible version：
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. Lily was nervous with her head down. After other students finished reading the papers one by one, finally, it was Lily’s turn. Frozen with fear, Lily stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking. Seeing it, Mr. Johnson told a funny joke, which made all laugh. Feeling more relaxed, Lily began reading. She was so focused that she felt she was alone. She didn’t notice that her story soon attracted all her classmates who sat up straight, without any chatting. They were lost in her fantastic story.
After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. Lily was shocked. When she raised her head, she found everyone staring at her excitedly. Lily finally smiled. She found everyone in the class responded to her story positively. After that class, Lily slowly lifted her head while walking. Later, she kept writing. And she began speaking in front of people and enjoyed it. A braver and more confident girl appeared. And she was grateful to Mr. Johnson who believed in every student.

W: That’s too bad. I’ll let him know you’re not able to make it.

M: How are you and your roommate getting along?
W: Pretty well. She usually comes home late, but she’s always careful not to make any noise in case I’m sleeping. She’s very thoughtful.
M: That’s nice.
W: Yeah. She’s a real change from my old roommate, who only cared about herself.

M: This town is a healthy place to live in. There are many trees, and the air quality is good. I guess that’s because there isn’t a lot of industry.
W: Yeah. But no industry means no jobs. It is difficult to find work around here. The city should bring more businesses here.

M: What an awful month we are having!
W: It’s pretty bad, isn’t it? So hot and wet. It’s hard to sleep at night in our dormitory.
M: It’s not usually this hot in the fall. Well, I think I’m going to get some more ice cream in the store.

W: How are you going to get home later, Harry?
M: Oh, I can just take a bus or a taxi. There are usually plenty of taxis in front of this restaurant at night.
W: Yes, but not on a Sunday night. You might wait for a long time. Why don’t you ask Kevin to drive you home? He’s having dinner with us and he lives near you.
M: That’s right. I’ll ask him when he’s back from the bathroom.

M: Hello, I’m a manager from Sunrise Supermarket headquarters to conduct a survey about customer satisfaction. I was wondering if you could tell me a little about your experience in shopping here.
W: Sure, I shop here all the time. It’s become a really good place to shop since the owner decided to move here last year.
M: I see, did you shop at Sunrise Supermarket when it was located on Brighton Avenue?
W: I went there a few times but the store was so small. I didn’t have a wide selection like we have here.

W: Thanks for letting me borrow the tent, Sam.
M: No problem, Tara. I was worried it’d be too small.
W: It was a little tight but we managed. We’ll have to get a big one for next time. Anyway, it was a great camping trip!
M: Are you going again soon?
W: No, we’re practicing our rock climbing for a little while to get into shape.
M: It’s great for building strength! Me and Shelly do it at the climbing center just out of town. It’s fun solving the puzzle of how to get up, and exciting too!
W: True that! My gym has a practice wall but we’d like to do it in the wild one day!
M: I have a guide I can recommend. He’ll take you to the best climbing spot and it has all the equipment too!
W: Great! Do you want to practice together?
M: Sure, I’m going with Shelly at 6 pm tonight.
W: Excellent. I’ll meet you at the center then!

W: John, I want to start an online store for homemade items. I want to sell handmade candles, soap, and other household things.
M: Great idea! It sounds like it can be unique.
W: I’ve been researching and I found out that this market area is not overly competitive and there’s huge demand.
M: So, what’s your next step?
W: I want to start by reaching out to local artists and see if they’re interested in partnering with me and I’d offer a platform for them to sell their products.
M: Good idea! It’d be a win-win for both of you. What about deliveries?
W: I’ve been thinking about that. I want to offer free delivery for orders over a certain amount, and for smaller orders, I’ll charge a small fee.
M: And how about packaging?
W: I want to make sure the products are packaged well. I’m investing in packaging materials that are recyclable.
M: That sounds great. I’m sure it will be successful. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.
W: Thanks, John. I really appreciate it.

M: Well, good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Crowne Plaza business center at Coogee Beach. I’m David Bowers, your host for the next two days, and I just want to give you some practical information.
OK. Coffee, tea, and cold drinks are served all day in the cafe which is just inside the main entrance to the hotel. Lunch is served between 12:00 and 2:30 in the private dining room. This evening you are invited to join the management for drinks by the swimming pool. The General Manager usually makes a short welcome speech.
I’d like to apologize for the temperature. I’m afraid it’s a little warmer than usual in here because the air conditioning in the business center is being repaired. However, the work will be completed before lunchtime.
Right. There are some changes to the conference program. Unfortunately, one of the main speakers has canceled her talk and so a couple of the sessions have been canceled or rescheduled. The updated program is being printed at the moment.
OK now, before we go for breakfast, are there any questions?
