4- year-old Nico Lavallee found that out the hard way while on a walk with his mom, Brenda Duke, and his brothers 2-year-old Santiago and 6-year-old Sebastian, his little brother decided to test his arm strength by tossing Nico’s beloved stuffed toy fawn（鹿）named Rudolph over the railing(栏杆) next to the frozen waters of Ottawa's Rideau Canal. After several days' of falling snow, the.poo1 slowly disappear beneath a blanket of white.
That's when Sebastian came up with an idea.During the pandemic, neighborhood social media had become a lifeline to a community isolated by the lockdown. Sebastian urged his mom to reach out to neighbors to save Rudolph.
Duke was skeptical at first, "I don't think anyone would care."
But Sebastian convinced her to give it a shot, so she took to Twitter.
“If anyone happens to see a stuffed toy fawn when the canal opens, my kids would be grateful," she tweeted with an accompanying photo of Rudolph. "The little brother threw it in.I know it's unlikely since they clear snow now and it will be even more buried but my 6-year-nld asked me to post here."
As hard as it was to believe, a mission to rescue Rudolph was quickly mounted. Even the National Capital Commission (NCC) signed on, pledging to put its skateway group on the lookout.
After several hours of searching, our courageous NCC Skateway team saved a stuffed baby deer. He is now safe and sound while he defrosts!
In a world rife with so many negatives, it can be easy to lose sight of the positive ones.
"You just have to ask," said Duke. "My kids are growing up knowing other people care, and that's really heartwarming.
This stuffed baby deer isn’t the only thing melting（融化）," a watcher named Monica Ward seconded in the Twitterverse, "so is my cold, cold heart."

24.What happened to Nico's stuffed toy fawn during the walk?
A.Santiago threw it in the canal. B.Nico buried it in the thick snow.
C. Sebastian hung it over a railing. D. Duke left it in the frozen water.
25. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A. Posting pictures on social media. B. Proposing a good suggestion.
C.Turning to neighbors for help. D.Learning to care for Rudolph.
26.How did Nico get his stuffed toy fawn back?
A. He followed NCC Skateway team to find it.
B. NCC Skateway team saved it from the canal.
C. Some of his neighbors spotted it by accident.
D.Monica Ward returned it back to Nico's mom.
27. How does Monica Ward feel about neighbors' response?

A robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California.
According to the course instructor William Barry, associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the world's first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as “remarkable”. The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.
Before becoming a student, Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry's classes for several years. One day when addressing Barry's class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college, which was enthusiastically supported by Barry and his students. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. “Love is a concept Bina48 doesn't understand,” said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.
“Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry. “He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is ‘fairly simple—it's a feeling’,” said Barry. But the reality was different. “Bina48 ended up learning ‘31 different versions of love’,” said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working artificial intelligence in future.
Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West Point. Bina48's contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.
In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning.

28．What was Bina48's performance like in class?
A．Extraordinary. B．Insignificant.
C．Far­reaching. D．Unattractive.
29．What does the underlined word “addressing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Dealing with. B．Consulting with.
C．Giving a speech to. D．Sending a letter to.
30．What can we learn from the passage?
A．It was interesting for Bina48 to learn about love.
B．It was quite tough for Bina48 to learn about love.
C．Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man.
D．Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence.
31．What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48?
A．It will surely be able to serve as a teacher.
B．It will be able to promote learning and teaching.
C．It will completely take the place of instructors.
D．It will be smart enough to control human beings.
D
Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all—Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far­fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.
Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week­long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.
All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”， older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.
American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand­up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similar results. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe's first test one, with a seven­week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth­grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.
The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win­win for students and teachers—it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.

32．According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that ________.
A．they have to exchange desks with each other
B．they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seats on their own
C．there are no seats for them to sit in class
D．the officials show no sympathy to them at all
33．According to the teachers, older students may not like stand­up desks because________.
A．they are cleverer than younger students
B．they are easily tired of standing long
C．they have formed the habit of sitting
D．they do badly in class while standing
34．What is most likely to be the result of the seven­week trial?
A．The standing desks can't be used at all.
B．It is good for students to use stand­up desks.
C．More tests should be done in other schools.
D．The students are different in personality.
35．Why do the teachers like the standing desks?
A．Because the educators can draw the students' attention.
B．Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.
C．Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.
D．Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all know it is not always so easy to be happy. We also know how stressed (有压力的) you are, with homework, exams, sports meets and extra outdoor activities, let alone trying to have a life outside school. 36
Exercise
Physical activity produces all sorts of things which help us to relax and feel good. Exercise can also make us feel more confident (自信的), which certainly makes us happier.

Thankfulness
It's easy to take the good things in life without thinking about them or showing you're thankful. 38 An easy way to do this is to make a list before bed of five things you're thankful for. They can be big things, like your family and friends, or little things, like a good hair day.
Laugh
39 But research has shown that a good laugh reduces (减少) stress and, even if you start by forcing yourself to laugh, improves how you feel.
Sleep
Get enough ZZZs. 40 Not getting enough sleep makes you angry and sad, so leave your phone outside your room, turn off the lights and let yourself have a good sleep. Sweet dreams!

"Ada! Milk!"Mama called.
Milk. It was Ada's turn to get it. Ada sighed and shut her first-aid book. Her head hurt from reading in the dim morning light, but how else was she going to learn?
Ada tied the cow close to a tree. Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses. Ada heard Betty drive off hours ago. "She should have taken me with her. She thinks I'm too young, but she's wrong. I am already 16!" Ada thought.
Ada carried the milk back to Mama, then wandered up the road. Roy, a village boy, had gotten a donkey and some kids had gathered around to see it. Roy was always doing something to get attention. Like now: He was trying to stand on the animal's bare back.
"No wonder they don't trust kids with anything important", Ada thought, sighing. She had just turned away when she heard a thud（重击声）and a few screams. Roy lay on the ground nearby moaning in pain. The donkey stood several meters away. "Roy!" The kids nearby ran towards him. "Get Betty," one said. Ada shook her head. "Betty's gone to the
city." The other kids seemed frozen in place.
Ada ran to where Roy was lying. She dropped to her knees on the dusty road. "Roy! Can you hear me?" Roy moaned in agony. Ada saw that one of his legs was crooked, bent a little sideways between the knee and the ankle. A broken leg!
She remembered what the first-aid book had said about broken-legs: If there is no ambulance, straighten the bone before moving the victim. There certainly wouldn't be any ambulance here. Ada looked back up the road. The other kids were still standing there, watching. "Victor!" Ada called to one of the boys. "Go get Roy's mama, and find someone with a truck." She turned to the others. "Give me your shirts. We need something to tie his leg with."

Para.1: Ada then found a strong stick, which she would use to keep his leg straight.________________

In my opinion, middle schools should attach importance to music lessons, as music plays an important part in our daily lives.
Firstly, music education not only enriches our knowledge but also helps reduce our pressure. Secondly, music helps to cultivate our minds by equipping us with more skills, which can promote our intellectual development. It is believed that learning music can help improve children’s general memory skills. Last but not least, learning music also helps develop our creativity.
In short, I think music is very important for us and can make our lives more worthwhile and interesting. As a matter of fact, most middle school students enjoy music very much.

续写（供参考）
Ada then found a strong stick, which she would use to keep his leg straight. She gently explained what she was going to do and then carefully wrapped the shirt around Roy's leg and the stick. Roy cried out in pain."I know it hurts," Ada said softly. "But this will hold it still until you get to the hospital." When Ada finished it, she looked up and saw Roy's mama watching from a few meters away. Behind her was a neighbor in a pickup truck. When Ada stepped away, Roy's mama ran over and held Roy's face in her hands."Thank you, Ada," she said. Ada helped them lift Roy into the truck. They drove down the hillside towards the hospital.
The next day,Betty came to Ada’s home. "I heard what you did, "Betty said."You kept your head cool in an emergency. That's an important skill. Ada’s face turned red. "I was afraid…."Betty shook her head. "It's OK for a nurse to be afraid, as long as she has a clear head. The volunteer doctors are coming tomorrow with vaccines. We need some more hands. Can you help?" "I'd love to." Ada replied straight away. "Come early,then. There is a lot to learn." Ada smiled. "I’ll bring my first-aid book."
建议同学抓住人物线索如Betty;Victor等和线索名词如stick;truck再结合两段句首和每个段落大意去整体把握文章脉络来续写。

21题所在段落注意熟词生义：angle （v）钓鱼
22题容易错选A项，lie in 位于……内部 第二段 setting 环境 overlook 俯瞰；忽略
23题第一个保护区（reserve）对于孩子免费开放，排除A项，D项也在此段落。

24题 猜词toss (v)抛、掷

阅读理解C:一篇新闻报道。机器人Bina48成功地完成爱的哲学这门课程。Bina48参加讨论，作报告，参与辩论，在课堂上的表现堪称是非凡的。它的表现展示了人工智能或许在某种程度上比人类更聪明，未来人们希望它能促进教学帮助学习。
28. A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Bina48 is the world's first socially advanced robot ... in a debate with students from another institution”可知，Bina48在课堂上参与讨论，与伙伴一起作报告，参与辩论，其表现被描绘成“卓越的”。因此推断它的表现是非凡的。故选A。
29. C　词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Before becoming a student, Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry's classes for several years.”可知，在做学生之前，Bina48在Barry的课堂上担任特邀演讲人好几年，因此推断它经常演讲，故画线词所在句句意：一天当Bina48在Barry的课堂上演讲时，它表达了想要上大学的愿望，Barry和他的学生热情地支持它的这个愿望。故画线词词义与C项“作演讲”意义相近。故选C。
30. C　推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Bina48 ended up learning ‘31 different versions of love，’ said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working artificial intelligence in future.”可知，Bina48最终学习了31种不同版本的爱，这突出显示了人类未来可能会面临人工智能的挑战。因此推断人工智能或许在某种程度上比人类高级。故选C
31. B　推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，Barry认为未来Bina48可能会变得足够复杂，可以教授课程，他预计机器人将被更好地用于教学和学习，而不是完全取代教师。因此推断他认为Bina48在未来能够促进学习和教学。故选B。
阅读理解D: 一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一种让学生站着上课的新型课桌，它既能保持学生健康又能使学生集中注意力，从而提高课堂效率，很受师生欢迎。
32. C　细节理解题。由第一段第二句中的“schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all—Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons”可知，教室没有座位，学生们要站着上课，这或许会让学生们感到不悦。B项主语错误，学校更换。
33. C　推理判断题。根据第三段尾句可知，年龄较大的孩子们由于多年习惯于坐着上课，所以不喜欢这种站着上课的课桌。
34. B　推理判断题。根据第一段倒数第二句、第三段首句、第四段首句和最后一段内容可知，使用这种桌子对学生有好处。
35. D　推理判断题。根据第三段首句和最后一段中的 “it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience”可知，老师们喜欢这种桌子是因为这使学生们上课更专心、注意力更集中。
36-40 略。拓展词汇 let alone 更不必说； 37题排除B项。ZZZ 睡眠
完形填空：英国音乐家 Paul Barton在泰国中部的Lopburi为野生猴子们演奏音乐，他说在缺少食物的时期，这些音乐能帮助它们平静。
Steal the music/ eat the music 享受音乐

W: Dear students, welcome to your new university, a place to help you realize your dream. First, I’d like to introduce the professors. You will have excellent teachers who are famous at home and abroad. They are both knowledgeable and responsible. Second, there are various after-school activities for you, such as singing, dancing and drawing, among which singing is the most popular one. These activities last from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. You can participate in any activity you like but you have to follow the rules. And now I’ll introduce the campus. The tallest building is the teaching building, where you will have classes and learn how to be a responsible adult. On its right is the library, where you can read books from all over the world. In the library you can have Wi-Fi access to the Internet, which will help you keep up with times. Next to the library is the lab building, where you can gain a better understanding of how science works and how the world can benefit from technology. That’s all I want to say today. Thank you for your attention and enjoy your new school life here.
