22、We were five minutes into a severe winter storm — approaching Boston’s Logan International Airport when I turned to the woman next to me and said, “Hey, would you mind chatting with me for a few minutes?” My seatmate seemed friendly and I suddenly felt desperate for a human connection.
“Sure. My name is Sue,” the woman replied, smiling warmly. “What brings you to Boston?” I started to explain that I was on a business trip. Then the plane trembled violently, and I blurted out, “I might need to hold your hand too.” Sue took my hand in both of hers, patted it, and held on tight.
Sometimes a stranger can significantly improve our day. A pleasant meeting with someone we don’t know, even an unspoken exchange, can calm us when no one else is around. It may get us out of our own heads — a proven mood lifter — and help broaden our vision. Sandstrom, a psychologist and senior lecturer at the University of Essex, has found that people’s moods improve after they have a conversation with a stranger. And yet most of us resist talking to people we don’t know or barely know. We worry about how to start, maintain, or stop it. We think we will keep talking and disclose too much, or not talk enough. We are afraid we will bore the other person. We’re typically wrong.
In a study in which Sandstrom asked participants to talk to at least one stranger a day for five days, 99 percent said they had found at least one of the exchanges pleasantly surprising, 82 percent said they’d learned something from one of the strangers, 43 percent had exchanged contact information, and 40 percent had communicated with one of the strangers again.
You don’t even have to talk to complete strangers to obtain the benefit. Multiple studies show that people who interact regularly with passing acquaintances or who engage with others through community groups, religious gatherings, or volunteer opportunities have better emotional and physical health and live longer than those who do not. One person took up the cell phone after chatting with a woman on the subway who was carrying one. Another recalled how the smile of a fruit salesman from whom he regularly bought bananas made him feel less lonely after he’d first arrived in a new city.
When Sue took my hand on that scary flight to Boston, I almost wept with relief. “Hey, this is a little bumpy, but we will be on the ground safely soon,” she told me. She looked so encouraging, and confident. I asked her what she did for a living. “I’m a retired physical education teacher, and I coached women’s volleyball,” she said. Immediately, I could see what an awesome coach she must have been.
When we said goodbye, I gave Sue a big hug and my card. A few days later, I received an e-mail with the subject line “Broken hand on Jet Blue.” “I have to admit that I was just as scared as you were but did not say it,” Sue wrote. “I just squeezed your hand as hard as I could. Thank you for helping me through this very scary situation.” She added that when she’d told her friends about our conversation, they teased her because they know she loves to talk. I told my friends about Sue too. I explained how kind she was to me, and what I learned: It’s OK to ask for help from a stranger if you need it. Now if I mention to my friends that I am stressed or worried, they respond, “Just think of Sue!”

23、 German automation company Festo recently unveiled its latest bio-inspired creation, the Bionic Swift, a lightweight robot, able to mimic the flight of an actual swift.
Over the last decade Festo has unveiled an impressive number of robots inspired by the Earth's animals, from bionic ants and butterflies, to penguins, jellyfish and even kangaroos. Earlier this month, the robotics studio showed their newest invention, a lightweight flying robot inspired by the swift and able to imitate its flight maneuvers with impressive accuracy. From steep turns to drops, the new Bionic Swift can imitate most of a real swift’s movements.
In order to imitate real swifts, Festo's robotic versions had to be ultra-light, weighing 42 grams each, or about as heavy as a golf ball. The birds are about 17. 5 inches long, with a 27- inch wingspan, but don't look much like birds from up-close, as the company's designers focused on bio-mimicry.
Although the Bionic Swift's feathers are not real, which are made of light foam, they do look and behave like the ones of a real swift in flight. They can slide apart just like real feathers, thanks to the design of the robot's wings. The feathers can move to let air through or close completely, allowing the Bio Swift to finish flight maneuvers.
Despite its small weight, each Bio Swift houses a brushless motor, two servo motors, a battery, a gear unit, and various circuit boards for radio, control, and localization. Thanks to a radio-based indoor GPS, each robot has spatial awareness and can fly in a proper pattern. Each one has a radio marker that send signals to the base, thus allowing the system to locate each bird's exact location and tell them to fly on a pre-programmed path.
Apart from being visually impressive, the new Bio Swifts may soon start helping companies monitor where goods are moving throughout a smart factory, thus avoiding bottlenecks.
【1】What can we know about Festo's Bio Swift?
A．It seems too heavy to fly like a swift.
B．It isn't the first animal-inspired robot.
C．It is equipped with some real feathers.
D．It looks much like a bird from up-close.
【2】What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The artificial feathers.
B．A swift s movements.
C．A real's bird's wings.
D．The new Bio Swifts.
【3】What is the function of a radio marker?
A．To measure the battery.
B．To receive information.
C．To monitor each system.
D．To send signals to the base.
【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Robot Flies at the Speed of a Real Bird
B．An Impressive Robot Is Used in a Factory
C．A Company Creates a Swift-inspired Robot
D．An Automation Company Mimicks Animals
24、You can get a clear picture about Deep Work by Cal Newport in 5 minutes. Deep Work tells us professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive(认知的)capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value and improve your skill. The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy. As a consequence, the few who develop the skill, and then make it the core of their working life, will thrive (蓬勃发展).
The book tells us the core abilities for thriving in the new economy, which are the ability to quickly master hard things, the ability to produce a high level, in terms of both quality and speed. If you can’t learn, you can’t thrive. If you don’t produce, you won’t thrive—no matter how skilled or talented you are. If you haven’t mastered deep work, you’ll struggle to learn hard things. To learn hard things quickly, you must focus intensely without distraction.
The key to developing a deep work habit is to move beyond good intentions and add routines and habits to your working life designed to minimize a state of unbroken concentration. To master the art of deep work, therefore, you must take back control of your time and attention from the many entertainments on the Internet that attempt to steal them. Adopt a tool only if its positive impacts on these factors substantially outweigh its negative impacts. It’s crucial that you figure out in advance what you’ re going to do with your evenings and weekends before they begin.
In the end of Deep Work, we can know that the ability to concentrate is a skill that gets valuable things done. If you’ re struggling to use your mind to its fullest capacity to create things that matter, then you’ll discover, as others have before you, that depth generates a life rich with productivity and meaning.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．Background information.
B．Specific examples.
C．Positive influence.
D．Theoretical introduction.
【2】What should you do to thrive in the new economy?
A．Cooperate with coworkers.
B．Cultivate your skills and talents.
C．Keep in the best state at what you do.
D．Learn to deal with challenges.
【3】Which of the following can develop a habit of deep work?
A．Avoiding any distraction.
B．Taking advantage of a tool.
C．Planning what to do beforehand.
D．Forming a simple habit.
【4】What is the text?
A．A book review.
B．An exam paper.
C．A news report.

26、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 Nunes’s family lived in a friendly community near the woods. It was a normal Wednesday afternoon Mom Araceli Nunes returned home from selling food and drinks along the roadside in Plantersville, Texas. Her business had been fairly profitable and she was happy to see her husband preparing dinner in the kitchen and her 3-year-old son, Christopher Ramirez, playing in the yard. However, when she turned to unload her car, she didn’t notice the kid followed a neighbor’s dog into the woods.
When they couldn’t find Christopher, the panicky family called for help, and within a few hours, 48 different agencies arrived to comb through the area around their home. Their entire community started to help find Christopher. Some walked into the forest and others drove farther away.
After days with no sign of the kid, rescuers feared the worst, but Araceli never stopped hoping for her son’s safe return. At long last, after four long days and nights, the sheriff received a phone call from a man named Tim Halfin.
Tim Halfin’s house was about three miles away. He had heard of the missing boy when he returned home from a business trip. He didn't think a three-year-old could walk that far to where he lived. However, as all the previous searching efforts were in vain, he decided to try his luck around his own house.
Not long after he went out into the woods, he was surprised by what came into his sight. There was Christopher! Aside from being dehydrated and very hungry, the kid was completely unharmed. He was found outside the range where authorities were looking for him, so it’s pretty amazing that Tim discovered him.
注意：
1.续写的词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Tim picked him up, the kid was still conscious.

Christopher spent two days recovering at Texas Children’s Hospital before he was taken home.
