A
If you’re eager to find a new place to explore, the following science museums and exhibitions will have you covered.
Robot & AI Museum
Seoul, South Korea
This museum is devoted to furthering public knowledge of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The museum that houses the robots has a unique design. The circular (圆形的) building looks like a massive spaceship, and each of its four floors provides a variety of science displays and educational programs for visitors.
Grand Egyptian Museum
Cairo, Egypt
2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb. Now, thousands of artifacts from the tomb will go on display in the museum. Occupying an area of 120 acres, the Grand Egyptian Museum is the largest archaeological (考古的) museum in the world.
Franklin Institute Science Museum
Philadelphia, America
To design this new two-story gallery devoted to the future of space exploration, exhibit planners met with local students to find out what they wanted to learn. The result is an experience that will showcase the current and future technologies needed to live and work in space.
American Museum of Natural History
New York City, America
This multistory building will add tons of new exhibit space to the over-150-year-old museum. Visitors can explore one of the world’s largest displays of live leaf-cutting ants and come face to face with dozens of butterfly species. Meanwhile, the interconnectedness of life will be on display in the 360-degree “Invisible Worlds” exhibition.

It’s late at night, the weather is bad, and you’re hungry. Your favorite restaurant is a mile away, but you don’t want to leave the house, and you don’t want to pay a $5 delivery fee and a tip for a $10 meal.
So, what can you do
Back in the old days, you would have to go in the rain or learned to plan ahead. But those days are coming to an end, at least in Washington DC.
About 20 knee-high robots recently have appeared on the sidewalks of the nation’s capital, and they’re out to bring takeout food from restaurants to hungry customers at home—while keeping the delivery cost to just a dollar.
Each of the robots seems like a box on six wheels, and drives at an average speed of 4 miles per hour. It has lights and a tall and bright orange flag to make it more noticeable on the sidewalk.
The robot relies on artificial intelligence technology that draws input from nine cameras, GPS and sensors. The cameras recognize a lot—including traffic lights, crosswalks and stop signs. If a robot finds itself in a situation it doesn’t understand, all the machine has to do is send a call for help. Then a human operator in a remote control center can look through the cameras and figure out the best action to take. That camera also provides security. If someone tries to steal the robot, for example, the cameras can photograph the thief.
Law-makers in Washington DC, Virginia, Florida and Idaho have already started to make such self-driving robots legal on the sidewalks. Other states have also expressed interest.
“Robots like these will complete deliveries that normally wouldn’t have been placed with the human-based delivery options of the past,” one of the law-makers says, “But we have to be sure that they are not going to put people out of jobs.”
24. How much should you pay for a $10 meal delivered by robots
A. $10. B. $11. C. $15. D. $17.
25. Which paragraph mainly focuses on the robots’ appearances
A. Paragraph 3. B. Paragraph 4. C. Paragraph 5. D. Paragraph 6.
26. What are the law-makers worried about
A. The robots’ reliability. B. The safety of the passers-by.
C. The high delivery costs. D. The possible unemployment.
27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Technology. B. Advertisement. C. Law. D. Politics.
C
I started considering the power of dogs during one of my daily walks around my neighborhood. Almost invariably, I’ll run into at least one person walking his dog. It’s a joyous moment to approach the dog and pet it. I always walk away from these exchanges feeling just a bit more relaxed and happy. And that got me wondering: Could these short interactions with other people’s dogs actually be good for me
“Absolutely. I think it is safe to say that animals are beneficial to our mental and physical health,” says Nancy Gee, a professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. Gee says there’s some evidence that the act of actually touching a dog might be an important part of the calming effect. For instance, one study done in Canada found college students reported less stress and reduced feelings of homesickness after brief interactions with dogs, and that the effect was much bigger in those who actually got to pet the animals.
Now, the therapy (治疗) dogs used in research are screened for things like friendliness, good behavior and responsiveness to their handler’s cues (提示). And of course, not everyone is a dog person. “Pets are not a panacea (灵丹妙药),” Gee says. “They’re not necessarily going to be great for every single person. But for people who really connect with the animals, they can make a big difference.”
Research on the health benefits of human interactions with animals, especially with dogs, has exploded in recent years, thanks to the support of the National Institutes of Health and the Waltham PetCare Science Institute. Though the field is still young, Gee says the quality of the evidence is improving all the time, including more randomized controlled trials looking at short interactions. “We’re seeing really nice effects,” she says. “We actually saw those effects one month later. And there’s some evidence that they may exist six months later.”
28. Why does the author mention his interactions with dogs
A. To praise his neighbor. B. To erase people’s doubts.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To voice his views on life.
29. What did the study done in Canada find about the students interacting with dogs
A. They disliked raising pets. B. They enjoyed much respect.
C. They were very academic. D. They became less homesick.
30. What can be inferred about the research on human-animal relationships
A. It has seen sound development. B. It cuts the cost of saving animals.
C. It ensures humans a bright future. D. It makes some medicine affordable.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Walking Improves the Quality of Life B. Petting Dogs Can Boost Your Health
C. Animals Might Lift Patients’ Spirits D. Happiness Lies in Helping Others
D
Self-driving cars are hitting city streets like never before. In August the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) granted (授予) two companies, Cruise and Waymo, permits to run driverless robo-taxis 24/7 in San Francisco and to charge passengers for those rides. This was just the latest in a series of green lights that have allowed progressively more freedom for autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the city in recent years.
Almost immediately, Cruise was criticized for its vehicles behaving unpredictably. One blocked the road outside a large music festival, and another got stuck in wet concrete. The incidents have brought renewed attention to the potential difficulties of integrating self-driving cars into the urban environment.
Yet despite some ongoing opposition, self-driving car companies have continued to expand testing and operations to more US cities. Many supporters say these vehicles could offer a safer alternative to human drivers, make transportation accessible to more people, improve traffic flows around cities and decrease the environmental impact of cars. So far, though, most of those promised benefits remain squarely in a possible future. Meanwhile, here in the present, complications have become plainly apparent.
AVs, such as those operated by Cruise and Waymo, shouldn’t be confused with commercially available cars, such as electric cars, which come with some driver-assistance features. Unlike those vehicles, which require a human driver to oversee control at all times, robo-taxis run on the road without a person monitoring and managing each movement from behind a steering wheel (方向盘). This is made possible by a very detailed internal map.
Waymo and Cruise maintain that their AVs are safer than human drivers. Both companies have released data that they claim support this, yet some researchers have their doubts. “I actually think there is not yet enough data available to the public, including researchers like me, to be able to judge relative safety,” says Steven Shladover, an engineer at the University of California.
32. What is the CPUC’s main purpose of issuing the permits
A. To promote autonomous vehicles. B. To advocate sustainable practices.
C. To upgrade public transportation. D. To reduce traffic at peak periods
33. Why do people oppose self-driving cars
A. They have charged passengers too much.
B. They occupy private parking spaces.
C. They badly affect the urban environment.
D. They consume large amounts of fuel.
34. How do robo-taxis differ from electric cars
A. They require more qualified human drivers.
B. They are more dependent on the internal map.
C. They will meet customers at a lower price.
D. They are smarter to handle a difficult situation.
35. What message does Shladover want to express in the text
A. We should give freedom to car producers.
B. Driverless cars will improve city planning.
C. All researchers support driverless robo-taxis.
D. It’s too early to declare AVs are safe enough.

How to Save Money Watering Your Garden
Jessica Damiano writes about gardening. In her latest story, she talks about cost-saving ways to keep your garden watered during the hot months of summer. Let’s look at some of Damiano’s recommendations.
Know when and how to water
36 . This lets the water go deeply into the soil before the weather gets too hot. If you water later in the day, the water will just evaporate (蒸发) from the surface. If you water in the evening, the plants stay too wet overnight.
How you water is just as important as when you water. If you water quickly every day, it does not help the roots, which can extend over 30 centimeters into the soil. 37 .
Catch and reuse water
You can recycle water from boiling vegetables or eggs. Just make sure the water does not have salt in it. 38 . Redirect a pipe that collects rainwater to fill a large container, then use the container to refill watering cans or connect a hose (软管) to a hole at the bottom of the container.
39
Most gardeners just think about which plants look good and the plants’ sunlight needs. But watering needs should be considered, too. Drought-resistant plants should not be overwatered. It is best to use plants that are native to the area where you live. These plants tend to be resistant to drought. They just need regular watering in their first two years. 40 .
A. Choose native plants
B. Instead, water the soil less often, but deeply
C. The best time to water plants is in the morning
D. It is also good practice to catch and use rainwater
E. This helps make the cities greener and improve air quality
F. Give some thought to how many plants there are in your garden
G. After that, they can live on just rainwater except during heat waves

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。
Like the Christmas before, we didn’t send Christmas cards; we called my family in Canada. Ginny and I talked to my mom. We spoke to my uncles and aunts. I hadn’t seen any of them in seven years and Ginny hadn’t met them yet, but she hoped to one day.
Those calls were completed, but I couldn’t relax. I still had one more call to make, and I was afraid. I paced up and down inside the room. I wasted time at my computer. I needed to call but I couldn’t.
Five years ago, I received an e-mail from my brother. At that time, I had been out of work for several months. My life was very stressful. My brother’s e-mail was nothing terrible but it made me angry.
I wrote back. As I typed, my anger grew. Months of frustration (沮丧) flowed into my unkind response. I said things that were not nice, but I sent the email without hesitation. More thoughts occurred to me. I wrote a second e-mail.
I screamed abuse at my brother in the emails. I didn’t care if I ever heard from him again.
The next day I received another e-mail from him. I didn’t read it. I just deleted it, and then I blocked his e-mail address.
For five years, he tried to get through to me but I ignored him. I had lived with this terrible guilt. I thought about contacting him, but was ashamed of myself for what I’d said.
It was time to fix it. I picked up the phone and stepped outside. I wanted privacy. Ginny didn’t know I was calling my brother. I took a deep breath, blew out a cloud of my breath into the cold December air, and dialed (拨号) his number. Even after five years, I still knew it by heart. A phone rang 3,700 miles away in Nova Scotia.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
There was no answer, so I left a voice message. ____________________________________________________

听力部分录音稿
(Text 1)
M: Excuse me. Is this the right floor for the restaurant

(Text 2)
W: My parents want me to study law, but I have a dream of being a painter.
M: Well, my parents allow me to study music.
(Text 3)
W: We have all these basketball courts. I think we can organize fun matches for people who just want to turn up before or after work.
M: Good idea.
(Text 4)
W: Mr. Brown, your new book is quite unlike your previous works.
M: Yes, I’m known for crime thrillers but I couldn’t get the idea of this historical romance out of my mind. I did a lot of research to finish the book.
(Text 5)
W: Have you sorted your car out
M: Yes, though it’s costing me a fortune to get it repaired. And it cost about 50% more to get it insured.
W: Hah! But you’re back on the road, right
M: Not quite. My son’s borrowed it to go on a trip so I’m using my bike to get around.
(Text 6)
W: Have you seen Jim since it happened
M: Yes. I’ve been round his house a couple of times. And I’ve lent my class notes to him. He was going to spend his holiday touring with his football team but he had to give up.
W: When will he be able to play again
M: It’ll be a couple of months before he can start training. Probably longer before he can play for the team. It takes months for a broken leg to recover fully.
(Text 7)
W: Thank you for calling Jordan Stadium. How may I help you
M: Hi. I ordered tickets for tomorrow’s concert, but they haven’t arrived in the mail yet
W: I’m sorry to hear that. When did you order the tickets
M: On Monday, the day before yesterday. The concert will be held tomorrow. What should I do
W: If for some reason, they don’t come today or tomorrow, then just come to the ticket office at least one hour before the concert and we’ll print out new ones for you.
M: Thanks.
(Text 8)
W: Richard, I hear this is your tenth year running your own family restaurant.
M: Yeah, that’s right. We’re having a big party at Hillside Hotel on May 10th to celebrate it.
W: That’s great news. You must be very proud.
M: Sure. However, without all the chefs I have had working for me over the years, none of this would have been possible.
W: I agree. Well, when shall we begin to discuss our project about staff management
M: The meeting starts in 10 minutes. Let’s have some coffee now.
(Text 9)
W: Hi, Tim. How’s the new job at the supermarket
M: Don’t ask!
W: What’s wrong
M: I thought I’d be working as a cashier. You know, taking people’s money and chatting to them. That would be much more interesting. But I didn’t get the position. I complained to my boss about it and she got quite angry with me. She said I had a bad attitude and the reason why I’m organizing shelves is that I can learn where everything is from doing so.
W: I’m afraid I agree with her. What she said is very sensible and you have to prove yourself in a new job. You’ve just started it two weeks ago. You’d feel better in one or two more weeks.
M: So you’re taking her side.
W: I just don’t think you are being reasonable enough, so you will not do well there if you don’t follow the arrangement and show some respect.
M: Maybe you’re right, as everyone else seems to have a good relationship with her. What should I do to make things better
W: Why don’t you say sorry to her when you go to work on Saturday and make a new start I’m sure she’ll give you a second chance.
(Text 10)
M: A visit to London Zoo is much more than just a walk around our great shows. You will walk through the zoo with an experienced guide, hear stories of how the zoo inspired Charles Darwin’s amazing work and discover the history of the many historic buildings in the zoo. Tours take place on Friday and Saturday mornings and it’s important to make an advanced booking. The program will begin with a welcome talk at 10:00 am. You should meet at the main entrance gate. It is important not to be late as the tour starts at 10:15. The guided walking tour around the zoo ends at 11:00 and then you will have the rest of the day to explore the zoo at your own pace. The tour costs just 5 per person and instead of coming to the ticket office, bookings can be made by phone on 0344-225-1826, but I recommend booking online.

This was just the latest in a series of green lights that have allowed progressively more freedom for autonomous vehicles（AVs）in the city in recent years.”可知，加州公用事业委员会向Cruise和Waymo两家公司颁发无人驾驶汽车商业运营牌照是为了推动无人驾驶汽车的发展。
33. C 推理判断题。根据第二段可推断，无人驾驶汽车给城市环境带来了负面影响因而招致反对之声。
34. B 细节理解题。根据第四段“This is made possible by a very detailed internal map.”可知，与已经面市的电动汽车相比，无人驾驶汽车更依赖内置的导航地图。
35. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Waymo and Cruise maintain that their AVs are safer than human drivers. Both companies have released data that they claim support this, yet some researchers have their doubts. ‘I actually think there is not... to judge relative safety,’ says Steven Shladover...”可推断，Shladover认为目前无人驾驶汽车的安全性仍值得怀疑。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Sir/Madame,
I’m writing to express my interest in volunteering for the upcoming Traditional Chinese Sports Culture Exhibition at the museum. As a student currently studying in Sydney, I believe it’s my responsibility to promote the rich and diverse culture of my homeland.
I believe my background and skills make me an ideal candidate for this role. I have participated in various traditional Chinese sports activities in China. This enables me to better understand the cultural significance of sports and communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds.
I’m excited about the opportunity to serve this event and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
There was no answer, so I left a voice message. “Bob, it’s Mike. I’m sorry. I said some things I regret. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and hope all is well with you.” I left my number. I walked back into the house and looked at Ginny. “I did it.” She looked puzzled. “You did what ” “I called Bob.” “Oh, honey! You did it right. We are family and it’s been too long.” Christmas came and went. I waited for the call that never came. I prayed for his forgiveness. The phone didn’t ring.
Then a week after I called, I received an e-mail. My brother left me a message in my mailbox. He said he listened to my voice message over and over and knew I was sincere. In the weeks to follow, we e-mailed back and forth. I felt so guilty about my stupid mistake. Why was I too proud to say sorry Now it was time to put an end to all. Since then, we have grown close again. Even though I haven’t been able to afford the trip home, we are still family.
