Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her husband and their four children moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.
One day, Kristin needed backyard furniture for a party and bought some picnic tables from Lowe’s. The delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. After the party, she painted the table turquoise (青绿色)—her favorite color—and put it in the front yard.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games did crafts and ate snacks. Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Construction workers on jobs in the neighborhood took their lunch breaks at the table. A babysitter walking by with her young charges sat down to rest. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement came into being.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. However, Kristin’s picnic table takes away the excuses and the pressure.
“Hospitality (好客) doesn’t merely mean entertaining people with a meal or a big party. At the picnic table, all I have to do is to show up.” She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community.
A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says.
4. What do we know about the turquoise table?
A. It was originally misplaced in the front yard.
B. It was designed by Kristin Schell 10 years ago.
C It has become a private place for community parties.
D. It enables people to create community behind their house.
5. How is Kristin most likely to show her hospitality?
A. By offering a big feast. B. By holding a fantastic party.
C. By providing babysitting service. D. By turning up at the table.
6. What can we infer about the Turquoise Table movement from the text?
A. It helps build colleague relationships. B. It will become less popular in the future.
C. It will continue to work all over the world. D. It helps Kristin to keep her loneliness at bay.
7. Which of the following can best describe Kristin Schell?
A. Caring and friendly. B. Polite and determined.
C. Energetic and courageous. D. Cooperative and ambitious.

Did you know that cutting meat and dairy products from your diet can reduce your food carbon footprint by 73%? It’s likely you’ve heard similar statistics before, which might have even grabbed your attention long enough to try a plant-based lifestyle for a while. However, for some, cutting out delicious meaty products forever seems too restrictive to sustain long term.
It’s true that we’re creatures of habit, so the dishes we love might be difficult to give up even when we intend to do so. But all the exciting new food technology could greatly change the way we consume food. Usually consisting of soy, grain or pea protein bases, fake meat hamburgers use around 90% less water than their beef stuff, so for all those looking to make a change without changing their diet, this could be wonderful news.
However good this may sound, it’s not a perfect system. Meat alternatives have their constraints too, but the good still far outweighs the bad when used to replace red meat. If health is a big concern for you, you might be better off sticking to vegetables and enjoying fake meat as a treat as some brands can be over processed or may not contain sufficient nutrients.
Currently, companies are racing to create the first “lab grown” meat products as a simple answer to everyone’s concerns. However, with all the moral concerns, questions about health and cost of production being extremely high, this is a long way from becoming a reality in mass production.
The exciting thing to take from this, whichever side you may be on, is that the fake meat industry is growing at such a rapid speed. It’s bound to produce a practical sustainable option soon, so keep watching this space.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To give a definition. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To provide statistics. D. To support the argument.
9. What is the highlight of fake meat hamburgers?
A They are nutritious. B. They are delicious.
C. They are eco-friendly. D. They are money-saving.
10. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Values. B. Flavors. C. Advantages. D. Limitations.
11. How might the future of the fake meat industry be?
A. Worrying. B. Promising. C. Disappointing. D. Unpredictable.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了我们是否应该食用人工肉。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Did you know that cutting meat and dairy products from your diet can reduce your food carbon footprint by 73%? It’s likely you’ve heard similar statistics before, which might have even grabbed your attention long enough to try a plant-based lifestyle for a while. However, for some, cutting out delicious meaty products forever seems too restrictive to sustain long term.(你知道从你的饮食中减少肉类和乳制品可以减少73%的食物碳足迹吗？你可能以前听过类似的统计数据，这些数据甚至可能吸引了你足够长的时间来尝试一段时间的植物性生活方式。然而，对一些人来说，永远不吃美味的肉类产品似乎过于严格，无法长期维持。)”可知，第一段的功能是引出讨论的话题。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Did you know that cutting meat and dairy products from your diet can reduce your food carbon footprint by 73%?(你知道从你的饮食中减少肉类和奶制品可以减少73%的食物碳足迹吗？)”和文章第二段“Usually consisting of soy, grain or pea protein bases, fake meat hamburgers use around 90% less water than their beef stuff, so for all those looking to make a change without changing their diet, this could be wonderful news.(假肉汉堡通常由大豆、谷物或豌豆蛋白组成，比牛肉少用90%的水，所以对于那些想在不改变饮食的情况下做出改变的人来说，这可能是个好消息。)”可推知，人工肉汉堡的亮点在于它们是环保的。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“However good this may sound, it’s not a perfect system.(无论这听起来多么好，它都不是一个完美的系统。)”和下文“but the good still far outweighs the bad when used to replace red meat.(但当用于替代红肉时，好处仍然远远大于坏处。)”可知，肉类替代品也有其局限性，由此可知，constraints意为“局限性”，与D项Limitations意思接近。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The exciting thing to take from this, whichever side you may be on, is that the fake meat industry is growing at such a rapid speed. It’s bound to produce a practical sustainable option soon, so keep watching this space.(无论你站在哪一边，令人兴奋的是，人造肉行业正在以如此快的速度增长。它一定会很快产生一个实用的可持续选择，所以继续关注这个领域。)”可推知，人工肉产业的未来充满希望。故选B。
D
A miniature, shape-shifting robot can melt itself and reform, allowing it to complete tasks in hard-to-access places and even escape cages. It could eventually be used as a hands-free soldering (焊接) machine or a tool for taking out swallowed items.
Carmel Majidi at Carnegie Mellon University and his colleagues created a millimeter-sized robot that can not only shape-shift, but also become stronger or weaker by alternating (交替) between being a liquid and a solid. When solid, the material was strong enough to support an object 30 times its own mass. To make it soften or melt as needed for different tasks, the researchers put it near magnets (磁体), whose magnetic fields applied forces on the tiny magnetic pieces in the robot, moving them and changing the shape of surrounding metal in different directions. They also used a stronger field to pull the particles upwards, making the robot jump.
When Majidi and his colleagues used an alternating magnetic field, electrons in the robot’s liquid metal formed electric currents. The coursing of these currents through the robot’s body heated it up and eventually made it melt. Using this flexibility, the team made two robots carry and solder a small light bulb onto a circuit board. When they reached their target, the robots simply melted over the light bulb’s edges to solder it to the board. Electricity could then run through their liquid metal bodies and light the bulb.
Finally, they shaped the robot like a Lego minifigure, then helped it escape from a cage by melting it and making it flow out between the bars.
The robots could be used for emergency fixes in situations where human or traditional robotic hands become impractical, says Li Zhang at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. For example, a liquefied robot might replace a lost part on a spacecraft by flowing into its place and then solidifying, he says.
12. What makes it possible for the millimeter-sized robot to shape-shift?
A. Its material. B. The electrons. C. Magnetic fields. D. Electric currents.
13. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The cause of the robots’ lighting a bulb.
B. The way of electric currents’ being formed.
C. The effort of researchers’ inventing the robots.
D. The process of the tiny robots’ completing a task.
14. What can we expect of the robot in the future?
A. It might support heavy objects. B. It will help control a spacecraft.
C. It may accomplish emergency fixes. D. It can replace a Lego minifigure.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Technology Makes Anything Possible
B. Carmel Majidi Invents His Flexible Robot
C. Experiments of Tiny Robots Are Completed
D. Tiny Metal Robot Can Melt Its Way to Escape
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了小型金属机器人可以通过熔化来逃生。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To make it soften or melt as needed for different tasks, the researchers put it near magnets (磁体), whose magnetic fields applied forces on the tiny magnetic pieces in the robot, moving them and changing the shape of surrounding metal in different directions. They also used a stronger field to pull the particles upwards, making the robot jump.(为了使它根据不同任务的需要软化或融化，研究人员把它放在磁铁附近，磁铁的磁场对机器人中的微小磁性块施加力，使它们移动，并在不同方向上改变周围金属的形状。他们还使用了更强的磁场将粒子向上拉，使机器人跳跃)”可知，磁场使这个毫米大小的机器人能够变形。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“When Majidi and his colleagues used an alternating magnetic field, electrons in the robot’s liquid metal formed electric currents. The coursing of these currents through the robot’s body heated it up and eventually made it melt. Using this flexibility, the team made two robots carry and solder a small light bulb onto a circuit board. When they reached their target, the robots simply melted over the light bulb’s edges to solder it to the board. Electricity could then run through their liquid metal bodies and light the bulb.(当马吉迪和他的同事使用交变磁场时，机器人液态金属中的电子形成电流。这些电流通过机器人的身体加热，最终使其融化。利用这种灵活性，该团队让两个机器人将一个小灯泡搬到电路板上并焊接起来。当它们到达目标时，机器人只需将灯泡的边缘熔化，然后将其焊接到电路板上。然后电可以通过它们的液态金属体来点亮灯泡)”可知，第三段主要是关于微型机器人完成任务的过程。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The robots could be used for emergency fixes in situations where human or traditional robotic hands become impractical, says Li Zhang at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.(香港中文大学(Chinese University of Hong Kong)的张黎(Li Zhang)表示，在人手或传统机械手无法发挥作用的情况下，这些机器人可用于紧急修复)”可知，在将来，机器人可以完成紧急修复。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A miniature, shape-shifting robot can melt itself and reform, allowing it to complete tasks in hard-to-access places and even escape cages.(一个微型的、可以变形的机器人可以自我融化和改造，使它能够在难以接近的地方完成任务，甚至可以逃离笼子)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了小型金属机器人可以通过熔化来逃生。故选D。

Do you have days when you stare into the mirror and can’t help but feel like something is missing? It’s reminding you to fully maximize your potential. In other words, it’s telling you to become the best version of yourself. ____16____ To help you get started, we’ve listed four tips below.
____17____
It’s quite understandable that, because of our nature as human beings, to a certain extent, people’s opinions about us influence how we see ourselves. Choose not to care about what others think or say. Otherwise, you’ll be held back from performing those activities that draw you closer to your goals.
Try new things.
Try to explore new opportunities because only then can you be able to discover yourself and figure out what the best version of yourself might be. This allows you to work towards it. ____18____ Think of failure as a lesson that teaches you what not to do next time you find yourself in such a situation.
Surround yourself with a good circle.
____19____ You wish to one day live a successful life, but if you’re surrounded by people with negative emotions, it is highly doubtful that you will get to attain that goal because the people around you are going to keep holding you down.
Quit Procrastinating (拖延).
Don’t give opportunities for the words, “I would do it later” and “it can wait” to pop up in your head. Treat every task given to you as a top priority. When you choose to embrace procrastination, you create room for laziness, which results in unproductivity. ____20____
A. Also, don’t be scared to fail.
B. But it is easier said than done.
C. Stop seeking approval from others.
D. Take others’ advice into consideration.
E. You can be as good as those you hang out with.
F. You might thus never know the limit of your abilities.
G. You need to think of goals leading to your final destination.

【17题详解】
空处为段落主题句。根据下文“It’s quite understandable that, because of our nature as human beings, to a certain extent, people’s opinions about us influence how we see ourselves. Choose not to care about what others think or say.( 这是完全可以理解的，因为我们作为人类的本性，在一定程度上，人们对我们的看法会影响我们如何看待自己。选择不去在乎别人怎么想或怎么说。)”可知，本段主要讲述了不要在意别人对自己的看法。C项：Stop seeking approval from others.(停止寻求他人的认可。)符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Think of failure as a lesson that teaches you what not to do next time you find yourself in such a situation.(把失败看作是一次教训，教你下次遇到这种情况时不要做什么。)”可知，空处提到不要害怕失败，A项中的“fail”和下文的“failure”对应。A项：Also, don’t be scared to fail.(另外，不要害怕失败。)符合语境。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Surround yourself with a good circle.(让自己处在一个好的圈子里。)”可知，本段讲述要交一个好的朋友圈，空处解释说明交一个好的朋友圈的好处。E项：You can be as good as those you hang out with.(你可以和那些和你一起出去玩的人一样好。)符合语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“When you choose to embrace procrastination, you create room for laziness, which results in unproductivity.(当你选择接受拖延症时，你就为懒惰创造了空间，从而导致效率低下。)”可知，拖延使效率低下，因此，停止拖延将会发掘出自己无限的潜力，空处对本段内容进行总结。F项：You might thus never know the limit of your abilities.(因此，你可能永远不会知道自己能力的极限。)符合语境。故选F。

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。
The Amazing Day I Learnt to Swim
There are certain days when we feel our lives change greatly——days we remember for a lifetime. Such, for me, was one morning in July in the Ligonier Valley of Pennsylvania, at a place called Devil’s Hole.
On that morning, my twin brother Roger and I had finished our chores, and the whole day lay before us. “Let’s go to Devil’s Hole,” Roger suggested. I readily agreed, but for all my eagerness there was a feeling of restlessness deep in my heart. Although he had never said a word about it and never laughed at me, Roger could swim and I could not. I had been too afraid to try. Now Roger could slip through the water expertly with the experienced, confident older kids.
Roger led the way to the kitchen door. “Grandma, can we go to Devil’s Hole?” We leaned against the screen, peering into the dark kitchen. Grandma, busy baking cakes stood at the kitchen counter. “Well, I guess the big kids are up there now, but mind the road and be careful in that place,” warned Grandma.
With a yell, Roger pushed open the screen door, dashed through the kitchen and climbed up the stairs. I followed racing to get into my bathing suit. Throwing towels around our necks, we ran across the field next to our house and headed up the dirt road.
Roger and I reached the destination. Sunlight flooded through a break in the trees. A quiet path of smooth stones and mossy ground led to a deep green pool of icy water reflecting a huge rock on the opposite bank, partially in the water. The rock was my province and protection. While the others swam, I always pretended to be trying to catch fish along its base with an old tin can.
Roger joined the older boys and girls at once. They excitedly dived in, swam swiftly across the pool and pulled themselves up on the big rock to feel the sun on the skin, their shouts, splashes and laughter echoing (回响) through the trees.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible Version
I watched with envy and decided to have a try. I carefully planted my toes on the smooth and slippery round stones of the bottom, making my way to the middle. Suddenly there was nothing under my feet. How scared I was! I kicked my legs and moved my arms violently, trying to battle with water and fear. Luckily, my face came out of the water and I could breathe again. Gradually, terror turned to excitement when I was moving through the water. It was hard to believe that I was swimming.
I couldn’t help shouting, “I can swim!” Roger was standing on the big rock with an open mouth as he watched me. He yelled with excitement, signing me to swim towards them. Exhausted as I was, I splashed across the pool, touched bottom with my feet and cheerfully joined them. It was such an amazing day I learnt to swim. It dawned on me that fear may be high and frightening, but it’s often extremely thin if we go all out.
