My wife Catherine and I struggled t cntain ur excitement abut ur five-year-ld sn’s first sl (独唱). Catherine carefully explained the pssibility, reminding Patrick hw beautifully he sang, telling him hw much fun it wuld be. Patrick himself seemed less cnvinced. “Yu knw, Mm,” he said, “smetimes when I have t d smething imprtant, I get kind f scared.”
Grwn-ups feel that way, t, we tld him, but the decisin was left t him.

He was dressed in white, with a pair f angel wings. Slwly, cnfidently, Patrick hit every nte. As his vice washed ver the peple, he seemed a true angel. There was eternity (永恒) in Patrick’s vice that night, a beauty rich enugh t bring heavy tears t my eyes.
His sng was sn ver, and at my side, Catherine brushed away tears and Melanie sbbed, t. Outside, I received cngratulatins frm fellw cmmunity members. I fund my sn wh lked at me with curisity. “Yu’re crying? Why, Dad?”
“I have t cry, fr nthing else but yur singing.”

A wheeled rbt rlls acrss the flr. A sft-bdied rbtic star bends its five legs, mving awkwardly. Pwered by cnventinal electricity via plug r battery, these simple rbtic creatins wuld be unremarkable, but what sets these tw rbts apart is that they are cntrlled by a living entity (实体) : a king yster mushrm.
By grwing the mushrm’s mycelium (菌丝体) int the rbt’s hardware, a team led by Crnell University researchers has engineered tw types f rbts that sense and respnd t the envirnment by using electrical signals made by the mushrm and its sensitivity t light.
The rbts are the latest accmplishment f scientists in a field knwn as bihybrid (生物杂交的) rbtics wh seek t cmbine bilgical, living materials such as plant and animal cells r insects with artificial cmpnents t make partly living and partly engineered entities.
There’s still a lng way t g befre bihybrid rbts g beynd the lab, but researchers hpe ne day rbt jellyfish may explre ceans, sperm-pwered rbts may be able t prvide fertility treatments, and cybrg cckrache rbts culd search fr survivrs in the wake f an earthquake.
“Bihybridizatin is an attempt t find cmpnents in the bilgical wrld that we can use, understand, and cntrl t help ur artificial systems wrk better,” said Shepherd, a prfessr f mechanical engineering at Crnell University.
The team began by grwing king yster mushrms in the lab frm a simple bx. The researchers chse this species f mushrm because it grws easily and quickly. They cultivated ( 培育) the mushrm’s mycelium, which can frm netwrks that, accrding t the study, can sense, cmmunicate and transprt nutrients.
The team fund it challenging t develp a system that culd detect and use the small electrical signals frm the mycelia t cmmand the rbt. “Yu have t make sure that yur electrde (电极) tuches in the right psitin because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead authr Anand Mishra. “Then when the mycelia start grwing, they wrap arund the electrde.”
What is special abut the tw rbts in the first paragraph?
They can cntrl living creatures.
They can make varius mvements.
They are made f king yster mushrms.
They are partly mushrm and partly machine.
What des the authr want t shw by giving the examples in paragraph 4?
The ptential f bihybrid rbts in the future.
The different types f bihybrid rbts in the future.
The limitatins f bihybrid rbts beynd the lab.
The advantages f bihybrid rbts ver cnventinal nes.
What did the team find difficult when engineering the rbts?
Wrapping the electrde with the mycelia. B．Arranging the electrde in the right rder. C．Develping a system t cultivate the mycelia. D．Psitining the electrde accurately n the mycelia.
Which f the fllwing can be a suitable title fr the text?
When Nature Meets Technlgy
Hw Technlgy Transfrms Nature C．King Oyster Mushrms: the Magic f Nature
D．Bihybrid Rbtics: the Key t Scial Develpment

Research has fund that lneliness and scial islatin are assciated with an increased risk f cnditins like anxiety, depressin, heart disease, and strke (中风). In fact, a 2010 analysis fund that lneliness is as harmful t physical health as smking 15 cigarettes a day — meaning using friendship t reduce lneliness is gd fr yu. But hw many friends shuld yu have?
Accrding t Jeffrey Hall, a prfessr f cmmunicatin studies at the University f Kansas, if yu want t ease the health impacts f lneliness, the mst imprtant thing yu can d is t have at least ne imprtant persn in yur life. But if yu want t have the mst meaningful life, ne where yu feel very cnnected t thers, mre friends are better.
Sme research endrses his remarks. One study frm 2016 fund that thse with at least six friends have better health thrughut their lives, and a study frm 2020 fund that middle-aged wmen wh have at least three friends typically have higher levels f verall satisfactin with their lives.
T figure ut whether yu need mre friends in yur life, psychlgist Marisa Franc recmmends asking yurself, “D I feel lnely?” While everyne feels lnely smetimes, yu shuld determine whether yu feel islated (孤独的) regularly.
Franc als recmmends asking yurself if there are parts f yur characters that yu feel are restricted. “If s, yu need different types f friends. Different peple bring ut different parts
f us. S when yu have a large friend grup, yu’re able t experience this side f yurself that lves basketball, and that side f yurself that lves flwers,” Franc said.
Since making new friends can be difficult, Franc said it’s ften easier t restre ld relatinships. She added that yu shuld take the initiative and nt assume that friendships will naturally happen.
“Ultimately, there ‘isn’t a magic number’ f friends fr everyne,” Hall said. “Yur persnality and the characteristics f yur life are ging t make a difference.”
What might Jeffrey Hall agree with?
Having just ne friend leads t mre happiness. B．Everyne’s ideal number f friends desn’t vary.
brad friend netwrk enables strng cnnectins. D．One imprtant friend is enugh t ease yur lneliness.
What des the underlined wrd “endrses” in paragraph 3 mean?
Creates.B．Supprts.C．Satisfies.D．Intrduces.
Which ne suggests a persn needs mre friends accrding t Franc?
Cntinuus self-dubt.B．Few exciting experiences. C．Ineffective scial activities. D．Cnstant feelings f islatin.
What des Franc say abut having a large friend grup?
It requires befriending thse with shared values.
It ensures persnal grwth by wide scial circles.
It means a persn wn’t feel restricted any lnger.
It helps explre different aspects f ne’s persnality.

Peple wh live in areas withut enugh fd r areas with natural disasters that have rbbed them f everything they have, their hmes, their livelihd, their security health care. I mean it is understandable that
peple becme unhappy if they have t suffer. On the ther hand, yu have rich peple. I think there are a number f types f rich peple. Yu have rich peple that are never satisfied, keep ging after mre and mre and mre and thse peple tend t be unhappy. By cntrast, there might be
rich peple wh have purpse and are cntent with what they have, which cntributes t their happiness. S I think it really depends n what type f pr peple are being cmpared t what type f rich peple.

解析
导语本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在学校的服务组“Read 2 Me”担任志愿者，这是一个让志愿者有机会为小孩子朗读并与他们互动的活动。一个大约六岁的男孩麦克斯开始向作者走来，作者知道自己找到了阅读伙伴。作者看了看他选的那本书。它讲述了一个小女孩和她的狗的冒险故事，似乎读给他听会很不错。
详解 1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我问：“你能告诉我你为什么想要这本书吗?””可知，第一段可描写麦克斯解释了喜欢他选的那本书的原因以及作者给他读书时麦克斯的状态以及读完后，麦克斯的感谢。
②由第二段首句内容“然后是读后感活动，我们互相交流。”可知，第二段可描写作者与麦克斯的交流过程以及感悟。
