I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the filmit wanted
somebody as well-known as Paulhe stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done
that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had
its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and
live TV. We were respectful of craft and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.
Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive，and
making fun of each otherbut always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core of our
relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back
3
he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me
with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but
sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the
deal was，and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.
24．Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?
A．Paul Newman wanted it. B．The studio powers didn’t like his agent.
C．He wasn’t famous enough. D．The director recommended someone else.
25．Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?
A．They were of the same age. B．They worked in the same theater.
C．They were both good actors. D．They had similar characteristics.
26．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Their belief. B．Their care for children.
C．Their success. D．Their support for each other.
27．What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?
A．To show his love of films. B．To remember a friend.
C．To introduce a new movie. D．To share his acting experience.

Imagine if there were a robotic fish that filtered microplastic out of the water as it swam.Well, now
there is one, and it's the physical version of the winning concept in the first-ever Natural Robotics Contest.
Announced this May, the University of Surrey's Natural Robots Contest invited members of the public
to submit their ideas for animal-or plant-inspired robots capable of performing activities that would help
the world.
Plans called for experts from various British and European research institutes to select what they
thought was the best concept, which would subsequently be made into a functional type. Engineers would
proceed to further develop the technology.
The winning entry turned out to be the plastic-collecting Robo-fish, designed by chemistry undergrad
Eleanor Mackintosh— who is a University of Surrey student. Mackintosh said, “Fish's gills are an
incredible mechanism in nature that are specialized to filter oxygen into the bloodstream-so I adapted my
design from that, with the purpose of addressing the plastic pollution in the water.”
The robot swims by moving its tail, holding its mouth wide open to collect water and microplastics in
an internal cavity (腔) as it does so. Once that cavity is full, the robot closes its mouth, opens its gill flaps
(鳃瓣) , and pushes the water out through those flaps by raising the floor of the cavity. A fine net attached
to the gill flaps allows the water to pass through, but captures the microplastic.
In its current physical form, the 50-cm-long Robo-fish collects microplastic as small as 2millimeters.
It also sports onboard sensors to monitor underwater environment, plus it uses an IMU (inertial
measurement unit) to track its movements within the water.
That said future style could capture much smaller particles. Other possible improvements include a
faster, more hydrodynamic body shape, a more powerful tail, and the ability to swim autonomously— the
current type works by hard-wired remote control.

28. How do the participants attend the Natural Robotics Contest?
A. By proposing the concepts of robots. B. By selecting the best concept of robots.
C. By developing the technology of robots. D. By making the physical version of robots.
29. What inspired Mackintosh to design the robot?
A. The body shape of the fish. B. The function of fish's gills.
C. The enthusiasm for robots. D. The plastic pollution in the water.
30. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 5?
A. How the robotic fish filters microplastics. B. How the robotic fish is further improved.
C. Why Mackintosh's robot won the contest. D. What materials the robotic fish is made of.
31. What is the best title of the text?
A. The first bio-inspired robotics contest B. The one-size-fits-all solution to plastics
C. An autonomously operating robotic fish D. A student-designed plastic-collecting fish

Schools need to give students all the tools they need to navigate the world when they graduate. Besides
teaching the basics of reading, writing, and arithmatic, teaching about mindfullness, and mental health are
important life skills for young people to have. The state of Florida agrees.
Now, public schools in Florida have been required to teach five or more hours about mental health for
students in grades 6-12. This new directive was approved by the Florida Board of Education in July and is
being carried out as a potential lifesaver.
The new curriculum requires students to learn about the symptoms of mental illness and where to find
help if they are feeling depressed or have other issues and even teaches the adolescents how to help their
friends and classmates if they see them struggling.
“We know that 50 percent of all mental illness cases begin by age 14, so we are being active in our
commitment to provide our kids with the necessary tools to see them through their successes and challenges.
Providing mental health instruction is another important step forward in supporting our families,”
Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said.
Florida is the third state, following New York and Virginia in 2020, to pass laws that require mental
health education in schools. According to CNN, the New York law updated the health curriculum to include
mental health for elementary, middle and high school students. The Virginia law required that mental health
education be provided for 9th and 10th graders.
These three states in the US are taking bold steps to help youth deal with the intricacy of life as they
grow from adolescents into adults. It is a confusing world they face and giving them the tools to navigate
it safely is essential. Mental health is something that should be taught in schools in all the US and across
the globe.
32. What can the new curriculum bring students?
A. Basic professional skills. B. The ability to use language.
C. Emotional management skills. D. Diagnosis of physical diseases.
33. What does Richard Corcoran intend to stress in paragraph 4?
A. The effect of mental illness cases.
B. The content of the health curriculum.
C. The step of mental health instruction.
D. The importance of mental health education.
5
34. What does the underlined word “intricacy” mean in paragraph 6?
A. Complexity. B. Purpose. C. Contribution. D. Significance.
35. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A technology report. B. A natural science magazine.
C. An educational website. D. A government document.

Perseverance: The Key to Success
Perseverance is a vital trait to possess in order to achieve success in any aspect of life. 36
Perseverance involves the ability to face challenges, overcome obstacles, and push through adversity, no
matter how difficult it may seem.
One perspective on perseverance is that it is the ability to maintain focus and determination in the face
of setbacks. 37 The successful people are the ones who keep moving forward in face of adversity.
They understand that success often comes after repeated failure.
Another perspective on perseverance is that it involves having a growth mindset. This means that
individuals who possess perseverance are open to new challenges and are not afraid to fail. 38 They
understand that each failure brings them one step closer to success, and they keep pushing forward despite
setbacks.
39 It also involves having the discipline to do so. This means staying committed to a goal and
putting in the necessary time and effort, even when it is not easy. Successful people understand that in
order to achieve greatness, sacrifices must be made and hard work must be put in consistently over time.
In conclusion, perseverance is an essential quality to possess in order to achieve the goals we set for
ourselves. It involves the ability to persist in the face of adversity, maintain focus and determination, have
a growth mindset, and possess the discipline necessary to put in consistent hard work over time. 40
A. With perseverance, anything is possible.
B. Write down your goals to keep them in front of you at all times.
C. It is the quality that drives us to keep going even when it is tough.
D. They view failure as an opportunity to learn rather than a reason to give up.
E. It is important to remember perseverance is not always easy, but it is worth it.
F. Furthermore, perseverance is not just about having the motivation to keep going.
G. In other words, perseverance is about not giving up even when things don't go well.

Every year I’d read over 2,000 college applications from students all over the world. It is quite 41
to choose whom to admit. 42 , in the chaos of SAT scores and recommendations, one 43 is always
irresistible in a candidate：kindness.
The most surprising 44 of kindness I’ve ever 45 came from a student who had excellent scores

of recommendation are typically written by people like former presidents, celebrities, and Olympic athletes.
The security guard wrote that he supported this student’s admission because of his 48 . This young

man was the only person in the school who knew the names of every member of the guard staff. He turned
off lights in empty rooms, consistently 49 the hallway monitor each morning and tidied up the
classroom after his peers left school 50 nobody was watching. This student, the security guard wrote,
had a(n) 51 respect for every person at the school, regardless of position, popularity or power.
It gave us a 52 onto a student’s life in the moments when nothing “counted”. That student was
admitted by agreed vote of the admissions committee.
Next year there might be a flood of security guard recommendations 53 this essay. But if it means
students will start paying as much 54 to the people who clean their classrooms as they do to their
principals and teachers, I’m happy to help start that 55 .

第二节 （满分 25 分）
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。
I recently had a challenging time working on a group project. My teacher put me with three people
who weren’t all that excited about getting any work done.
Our assignment was to pick one of the 50 states and make a brochure about it. “Let’s pick Hawaii!”
said Emma, “Hawaii has super-cute swimsuits” “True!” Agreed Angela, “Speaking of swimsuits, there are
some get-ready-for-summer sales happening now.” “Really? Maybe my mother will take me shopping this
weekend,” said Emma.
I turned to Bernard, “Which state do you think we should pick?” He shrugged (耸肩), “I don’t care.
But what happened to your hair, Jessica? It looks like caught in a blender!”
No one in my group seemed very eager to talk about our project, so I went ahead and shared interesting
facts I knew about Hawaiian food and culture. When I was done, no one responded, so I pulled out my
notebook. I asked Emma to search for pictures of Hawaiian sea life. But she said she was busy and asked
if her picture at a Hawaii hotel pool would do. I requested Angela and Bernard to find Hawaiian historical
information and geography respectively. It turned out they all had their own business. I was getting the
impression that none but me planned to work on the brochure.
Later that day, as I set the table for dinner, my mom could tell I was stressed-out. “What’s going on?”
she asked. I told her what happened and sighed, “So I guess the only way to get the brochure done is for
me to do it myself.”
“Well,” my mom said with a smile, “when it comes to homework, they don’t necessarily do things
you order. Second, I doubt if you’re responsible for everyone else’s part. Why don’t you check in with
your teacher about it?”
When I talked to my teacher the next day, he explained he would grade the assignment partly on the
finished brochure but mostly on our individual work, which made me much less worried.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1
At our next group meeting, I tried to bring up my concerns in a friendly way.
Paragraph 2
Finally, we were amazed to receive the grade for our group project.

My proposals for protecting eyes
The eyes are the window of our soul, the important guarantee of our contact with the outside world,
so we must protect our eyes. In order to keep our eyes healthy, I'd like to share my proposals.
First of all, we should pay attention to eye posture, avoiding reading on your phone while lying down,
walking, or taking a car. Besides, due to endless homework, we often feel our eyes tired so we should
control eye usage time, resting for 5-10 minutes every 40-50 minutes and doing eye-protection exercises
during the break.
Let's protect our eyes, and see more beautiful things.
