She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon follow.Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He 3 three pots with water and placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter complained and 4 waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes, he turn off the turners (开关).He took them out of the pot and put them in a bowl. Turning to his daughter, he asked, “Dear baby, what do you see now?”“Potatoes, eggs and coffee J she quickly replied.“Look closer/9 he said, “and touch the potatoes?9 She did and noted that they were 5.He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she 6 the hard-boiled eggs. Finally, he asked her to sip (抿)the coffee. "Dad, what does this really mean?” she asked.He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans had each faced the same boiling water. However, they 7 differently. The eggs were fragile (易 碎)with the thin outer shell protecting their liquid inside until they were put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the ground coffee beans were 8. After theywere 9 to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.“Which one are you?” he asked his daughter.

He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. 37 Then they will adapt the information to each student. Its not a popular opinion and it's unlikely robots will ever have empathy (同理心、)and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can. 38 A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9-16 percent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tried, or move somewhere for an easier job.Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world feel overworked because it is a difficult job. 39 Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.A One thing is certain, though.B Could there be a place for robots in education after all ?C. It is argued that robot teachers are likely to impact children's privacy.D. However, people are worried about the use of robot teachers in schools.E. Intelligent robots will read students* faces, movements and maybe even brain signals.F. Perhaps the question is not "Will robots replace teachers? " but "How can robots help teachers ?”It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity.第三局部 书面表达(共两节,32分)第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答以下问题.请在答题卡指定区域作答.A team of scientists has come up with a plan they say could help rebuild the Arctic ice cap. The ice cap is a huge area of sea ice that covers most of the Arctic Ocean all year round.Usually, the sea ice gets thicker and spreads further each winter, but this hasn*t happened for the past few years. Last month, the ice cap had shrunk to its smallest size since scientists began keeping records of it 38 years ago. The weather in the Arctic has been unusually warm this winter. Some days, temperatures have been 20 higher than is normal for this time of year. In March, the temperature was above 0 at least one day.The Arctic ice cap is needed to be rebuilt because sea ice reflects heat and light from the sun back into space. With less ice, the ocean would absorb more heat. The Arctic would warm up even more quickly, and more ice would melt. Without sea ice, many animals would lose their natural habitats and could become endangered. It could also affect the weather, with more storms and erosion along the coast.Dr. Steven Desch and a group of scientists from Arizona State University in the United States think they can help to build up Arctic sea ice again. They want to set up wind-powered pumps on the existing sea ice. During the winter, the pumps would spread water from the ocean over the surface of the ice where it would freeze and form a new layer of ice. The scientists say that in 10 years, this could add an extra metre of ice to the ice cap.The plan would require about 10 million pumps and it would be very expensive-about $655 billion. Some other scientists are wondering if the pumps would actually work in severe Arctic conditions. They are also concerned about how the project might affect the environment.Dr. Desch said his team hoped their proposal would get more people interested in looking for a solution to the problem of melting sea ice. He said the only plan people have right now is to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and other man-made sources. He and his team don't think that will be enough to save the sea ice, so they're going to work on their plan and hope that it will give everyone a good start on saving the Arctic ice cap.40. What is the Arctic ice cap?41. What are the shortcomings of Dr. Steven Desch's solution?42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explainwhy.(将错误局部抄在答题卡上再解释原因)Some scientists were worried about the project and Dr. Desch hoped more people could help improve it.43.

There are two parts less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen - any screen - and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself "marketing director from Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the World Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference/ David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be on habit fbr life. His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.21. How did David Bond advocate his idea?A.By making a documentary film.B.By organizing outdoor activities.C.By advertising in London media.D.By creating a network of friends.22. .Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in paragraph 2?A. delaysB. predictsC. recordsD. ConfirmsWhat can be a suitable title for the text?A. Let Children Have FunB. Young Children Need More Free TimeC. Market Nature to ChildrenD. David Bond: A Role Model for ChildrenBQueen Elizabeth II, who ascended the British throne at 25, has passed away at the age of 96.On Sept. 8, the official Twitter account belonging to the royal family confirmed the news, writing, "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.”The news comes hours after Buckingham Palace issued a statement on Sept. 8, sharing that doctors were “concerned" with the Queen's health and recommended she "remain under medical supervision.While Her Majesty stayed busy with a variety of royal engagements even in the final years of her life, some royal watchers grew concerned about her heath after the Queen started using a cane and was briefly hospitalized in October 2021 for an undisclosed ailment.In February, the fears grew stronger after she tested positive for COVID-19, just weeks after she celebrated 70 years on the British throne to become the longest-reigning monarch in British history. However, the Queen would make a rare appearance a little over three months later in May at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.But after the first day of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, the Palace shared at the time that she experienced “some discomfort/9 leading her to miss the National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral on June 3.Back in 1952, Elizabeth became queen upon the death of her father, King George VI. In 2015, she surpassed the previous longest-reigning British monarch, her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria, and also became the longest-serving female head of state in world history.Her extraordinary reign included countless overseas visits with world leaders, but the Queen always viewed public and voluntary service as one of the most important elements of her work.According to the Palace, Elizabeth had links - as President or Royal Patron - with over 600 charities, military associations, professional bodies and public service organizations.“I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service/9 Elizabeth shared on her 21st birthday, back when she was still known asPrincess Elizabeth.Elizabeth was married to the late Prince Philip for 73 years before he passed away in April 2021 at the age of 99.At t
