Beside her lay her father who needed heart surgery. The two of them had engaged in nothing but depressing small talk. Then, her eyes fell on a pile of books. She picked up one, and started to read it out loud. Right away it changed the mood and atmosphere, she says. Reading gave the daughter a way to connect with her father. Listening allowed the father to travel on the sound of his daughter's voice into a place where he felt himself again. From then on, Khan says, “I always read to him.”In a 2010 survey in the United Kingdom, elderly adults who joined weekly read-aloud groups reported better concentration, less anxiety, and an improved ability to socialize. The survey authors owed these improvements in large part to the “rich, varied diet of serious literature” that group members consumed, with fiction encouraging feelings of relaxation and calm, poetry fostering focused concentration, and narratives giving rise to cognitive (認知的) thoughts, feelings, and memories. In truth, almost any kind of reading to another person can be beneficial.Readers get rewards too. For Neil Bush, the late-life hospitalization of his famous parents, George HW. and Barbara Bush, became opportunities to repay a debt of gratitude. When I was a kid, they would read to me he said. With his parents in and out of care, “We've been reading books about Dad's foreign policy and, more recently, Mom's autobiography.” Bush went on, his voice thick with emotion, “And to read their amazing life to them has been a remarkable blessing to me, personally, as their son.”To many people, reading to parents may seem so far outside the normal range of regular activities, and it may even feel odd and improper. However, there are still many people who brave the momentary strangeness of reading to elderly adults and both readers and listeners are, to borrow a phrase from Wordsworth, surprised by the joy of it.4What did reading offer to Linda and her father?AA way to establish a bond.BA way to travel together in reality.CA way to treat the disease.DA way to engage in learning.5What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?AImprovements in mental health.BBenefits of reading to others.CChanges in the cognitive process.DDevelopment of social skills.6What does Neil Bush's experience prove?AReading benefits more than the listener.BParents should read more to their kids.CChildren  should show their gratitude.DReading to parents is children's duty.7How does the author feel about reading to an elderly adult?AImproper and odd.BAbnormal but worthy.CRewarding and joyful.DInteresting but unnecessary.C[2022·青島高中質(zhì)量檢測]Nobody wants to snack on plastic bags or soda rings, but according to a recent study from the University of Newcastle, we could be consuming roughly a credit card's worth of plastic every week.Microplastics, which are less than a quarter-inch size and come in various shapes, have polluted the natural world and infiltrated (滲入) our bodies. The first clue to microplastic exposure in humans came around 2013, when scientists discovered plastic particles in seafood prepared for consumption. But in 2019, when the University of Newcastle study was published, the scientific community understood that the problem was considerably broader. Microplastics shed off clothes and tires and have been found in beer, honey, table salt and other food items. We breathe in plastic staying in the air and drink plastic floating in our drinks. It's no stretch to conclude that our exposure is significant. What we don't know is what this means for us.The amount of evidence collected on this__subject is growing rapidly, according to Scott Coffin, a toxicologist (毒理學家). Studies done on mice and rats have found that plastic in their bodies can severely damage cells and cause stress.Because microplastics are too small to clean up, the only solution is to stop plastic waste at the source. And doing so would take a thorough adjustment, given that plastic is deeply embedded in our economy and lifestyle. Stopping using them would fundamentally affect countless industries, including textiles (紡織業(yè)), transportation and manufacturing.I think we need to have more studies coming out that are directly related to human health before we see a lot more concern from the general public, Scott said. “It takes a lot to convince people that something that is really convenient for them to use is something they should sacrifice.”  The question of microplastics and human health needs more attention—from the scientific community, the general public, the government and funding groups. The issue isn't being ignored, but it's not being prioritized either.8What does the second paragraph mainly tell us about microplastics?ATheir wide usage in daily life.BTheir harm to human health.CTheir significant exposure in humans.DThe new study conducted on them.9What does the underlined part “this subject” refer to?AThe way that microplastics exist.BThe pollution caused by microplastics.CThe relationship between microplastics and human health.DThe reason for the existence of microplastics.10How to solve the problem according to Scott?ATo cut down plastic production.BTo carry out more studies on mice and rats.C.To invent something more convenient than plastic.DTo promote people's awareness on the harm brought by microplastic.11Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?AIs microplastic pollution harmful to our health?BWhy is microplastic pollution everywhere?CWhy is plastic harmful?DWhat do you know about microplastics?D[2022·南昌市模擬]The team, led by Michael TTolley, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego, details its findings in the Feb. 17, 2021 issue of the journal Science Robotics.This work represents a fundamental yet significant step towards fully-autonomous, electronics-free walking robots said Dylan Drotman, a PhD student in Tolley's research group and the paper's first author.Applications include low-cost robots for entertainment, such as toys, and robots that can operate in environments where electronics cannot function, such as MRI machines. Soft robots are of particular interest because they easily adapt to their environment and operate safely near humans.Most soft robots are powered by air and are controlled by electronic circuits. But this approach requires complex components like circuit boards, valves (閥門) and pumps—often outside the robot's body. These Components, which make up the robot's brain and nervous system, are typically large and expensive. By contrast, the UC San Diego robot is controlled by a lightweight, low-cost system of air-powered circuits, made up of tubes and soft valves, on board the robot itself. The robot can walk on command or in response to signals it senses from the environment. With our approach, you could make a very complex robotic Brain, said Tolley, the study's senior author. Our focus here was to make the simplest air-powered nervous system needed to control walking.In the future, researchers want to improve the robot's ways to walk so it can walk on natural fields and uneven surfaces. This would allow the robot to navigate over a variety of obstacles (障礙). This would require a more complicated network of sensors and as a result a more complex air-powered system. The team will also look at how the technology could be used to create robots, which are in part controlled by air-powered circuits for some functions, such as walking.12What is the achievement of the team's study?ATheir robots can walk a huge step.BTheir robots work following commands.CTheir study gets their electronics for free.DThey find a new technique in walking robots.13What can the team's robots be applied to from the passage?AToy companies' products. BEnvironmental protection.CHuman safety.      DFactories without workers.14What will the researchers probably do?AChange the way of power. B. Help robots walk as humans.CImprove robots to avoid obstacles.D. Build a network to control robots.15What is the passage mainly talking about?AThe introduction to electronics-free walking robots.BThe functions of newly-developed robots.CThe applications of soft walking robots.DThe ways to improve traditional robots.第二節(jié)(5小題;每小題2分,滿分10)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。[2022·山西名校測評]Will you raise your hands to speak actively, or do you just remain a quiet listener in class? It's not unusual for teens to avoid answering questions in front of others because they are too shy or too afraid of being mistaken.
