Simone loved watching the gymnasts train and performances. She couldn’t just watch them, though—she had to try their moves. She was so good that one of the coaches sent a letter home with her, inviting Simone to take gymnastics classes.Simone loved the classes, and she was excellent at climbing, swinging, jumping, and tumbling(翻筋斗). Though she had a lot to learn, the coaches could hardly keep up with Simone. When one,girl performed a standing back tuck(翻折), Simone was sure she could do one too. Her coach didn’t believe h er, so Simone tried the trick and made it on the spot.At 9, Simone learned why she couldn’t sit still: She had ADHD(多动症). Her brain moved fast and her body did too—which made it hard for her to concentrate in school but which also made her an amazing gymn ast. “The challenges we face help define who we are,” Simone, wrote. “My challenge is also my superpower.” Simone’s superpower would help make her one of the most dynamic gymnasts ever seen.Simone is one of the greatest athletes in history. At age 16, she won two gold medals at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships(AGWC), including the all-around(the total score from competing in all events). She has now won 25 world medals, 19 of them gold. That’s the most in world gymnastics history. Simone competed in her first Olympics in 2016. She was the first female U. S. gymnast to win four gold medals in an Olympic Games. Since then, Simone has debuted(首次呈现)some moves never successfully done in world competitions, including adouble-double dismount(下马)from the balance beam. The move became known as the Biles. Several signature moves have been named after Simone.24．Who found Simone Biles’ gymnastics talentA．Her parents. B．A tour guide.C．A gymnastics coach.

D．She competed in her first Olympics at 21.27．Where is the text probably taken fromA．A research paper. B．A travel brochure.C．A chemistry textbook. D．A sports magazine.CWhen you encounter animals, do you wonder what they’re thinking Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions (情感) in us, but what are they thinking Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they’re feeling - or are they feeling nothing at allHumans have a complex range of feelings, but it’s h ard to tell what’s going on inside the heads of animals. Some of us own dogs,because they are good companions, are loyal and seem to connect with us. We might even think they love us. Professor Kim Bard, an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth, told the BBC: “We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond when their owner - but not a stranger - pretends to cry.” The empathetic ability of cats, however, is harder to work out.Other non-domesticated (非驯养的) animals might have feelings too. Giraffes and whales, for example, are known to experience sadness when someone in their group dies. It’s believed that even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well. Research is beginning to show they experience a wide range of feelings. Kim says “they can be optimistic, pessimistic, or frightened, and respond to pain just like any mammal would.”Dr Barbara J King, Emerita Professor of Anthropology at the College of William and Mary, told the BBC: “If we understand the profound depths of emotions animals can feel, this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses (屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems. It does seem all creatures feel emotion, but what is not clear is whether they feel the same way as us.”28. What’s the purpose of raising questions in the first paragraphA. To entertain.B. To inspire.C. To attract.D. To persuade.29. What do the underlined words “empathetic ability” in paragraph 2 meanA. The ability to respond to others’ questions.B. The ability to understand others’ feelings.C. The ability to stay calm when facing danger.D. The ability to share work with their owners.30. What’s the importance of the research, according to B arbaraA. It may reduce the times of people visiting zoos.B. It may change the food chain of the whole world.C. It may cause zoos and slaughterhouses to disappear.D. It may lead people to reconsider animals’ well-being.31. How do the researchers sound when talking about the issueA. Careful.B. Certain.C. Critical.D. Regretful.DYoung children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions influenced by robots, according to a new research. The study, conducted at the University of Plymouth, compared how adults and children respond to an identical task when in the presence of both their peers (同龄人) and robots.It showed that while adults regularly have their opinions influenced by peers, something also demonstrated in previous studies, theyare largely able to resist being persuaded by robots. However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect. The study asks people to look at a screen showing four lines and say which two match in length. When alone, people almost never make a mistake but when doing the experiment with others, they tend to follow what others are saying.When children were alone in the room in this research, they scored 87% on the test, but when the robots join in their score drops to 75%. And of the wrong answers, 74% matched those of the robot. Professor Belpaeme said, “People often follow the opinions of others and we’ve known for a long time that it is hard to resist taking over views and opinions of people around us. But as robots will soon be found in the home and the workplace, we were wondering if people would follow robots.“What our results show is that adults do not follow what the robots are saying. But when we did the experiment with children, they did. It shows children can perhaps have more of an affinity (亲和力) with robots than adults, which does pose the question: What if robots were to suggest, for example, what products to buy or what to think ”32．What did the adults do when staying with robotsA．They generally refused the robots’ effects. B．They totally accepted the robots’ suggestions.C．They tried to persuade robots to resist them. D．They usually compared robots with their children.33．Why did some children make more mistakes in the experiment A．Because children were not as clever as the adults. B．Because robots reflected better than human beings. C．Because robots in the presence made mistakes. D．Because children wanted to affect the robots on purpose. 34．What is Professor Belpaeme’s attitude towards the result of the experimentA．He is optimistic about the result. B．He is worried about the future.C．He doesn’t care about the result. D．He doubts the result of the research.35．What should be followed after the last paragraphA．What is the meaning of the research B．What should adults do to avoid the problemC．Why are children more likely to be influenced D．What will be done to solve the problem第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
