一、阅读理解

The Bosna River is the third longest river in Bosnia-Herzegovina, measuring 168 miles long. The name Bosnia is even from the Bosna River. Unlike other big rivers in the world, there are no dams here. This is due to many protests from environmental groups who believe the construction will endanger local animals. Source and Course

The river begins in Sarajevo Canton, flowing through the Doboj Region, then to Posavina Canton. Its source is the Bosna Spring located in the foothills of Mount Igman, just outside Sarajevo. The waters of the spring are extremely pure and serve as the water supply. The area is a national park, popular with both locals and tourists as a spot for a walk, pienie and super photo opportunities. Wildlife

Fishing is very popular in the Bosna River, largely due to its rich species of trout(鲟鱼). At the head of the river, ducks make a home where the water is still. With plenty of fish, there are even brown bears wandering the shores. A threatened species also makes its home in parts of the river, making environmentally active groups more against industrializing the river. History

The Bosna River is an important waterway in the region. During World War II, the Bosna River became an efficient access point to cities with a large industry. Zenica and Doboj are two major cities, with populations of 115,000 and 77,000 respectively, that rest along the Bosna River valley.

Maybe you grew up eating food made by your grandmothers, mouth-watering dishes that bring back sweet, unforgettable memories. Perhaps it was Italian noodles or even Chinese dumplings. Now, at Enoteca Maria, a unique restaurant in New York City, you can eat the dishes same to your grandmother’s cooking.

When Joe Scaravella opened his restaurant, he named it after his mother. Then, in order to remember his grandmother, Joe invited local grandmothers to cook Italian dishes in his kitchen. “I wanted to try to recreate that: the grandma cooking in the kitchen”, he said.

Enoteca Maria is an Italian restaurant where half of the menu changes daily. The fixed half is Italian; the changeable half includes cuisines from all over the world. And what makes the restaurant unique is not professional chefs calling the shots in the kitchen, but grandmothers! Each night, a grandmother from a different country designs a fresh menu, honoring her native cuisine and the food she loves best. Currently, the restaurant is only open three days a week: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Although it’s usually packed, the grandmothers arrange everything orderly.

When the restaurant first opened, several local Italian grandmothers from different Italian regions would cook their own special dishes on a regular schedule, sometimes launching friendly competitions of whose dish was better. When people from different cultures visited the restaurant to get a taste of original Italy, Scaravella decided to extend the competition to include women from across the globe, to make sense to celebrate every culture, and thus, in 2015, the “Grandmothers of the World” initiative was born.

Now, business is running at full speed with around 30 grandmothers from different nationalities cooking in the kitchen.

4．What inspired Scaravella to invite grandmothers to cook in the restaurant? A．The interest in cooking.

C．The desire to recreate Italian dishes.

B．The love for his mother.

D．The wish to honor his grandmother.

5．What made the restaurant special according to Paragraph 3? A．Updated menus. C．Grandmother chefs.

B．Local cuisines. D．Foreign dishes.

6．Why did Scaravella start the competition across the world? A．To create better dishes.

B．To attract more visitors.

7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Grandmothers’ cooking wins hearts C．Grandmothers run the restaurant

A team of engineers has invented a new type of tiny, self-driven robots that can travel through liquid at incredible speeds and may one day even deliver drugs to hard-to-reach places like bladder (膀胱) inside the human body.

The new study shows this research is a big step forward for tiny robots. The microrobots are really small. Each one measures only 20 micrometers wide, several times smaller than the width of a human hair. They’re also really fast, capable of traveling at speeds of about 3 millimeters per second, or roughly 9, 000 times their own length per minute. The machines look a bit like small rockets and come complete with three tiny wings. The team makes its microrobots out of materials by using a technology similar to 3D printing. Each of the robots carries a small bubble (泡泡) of trapped air. If you expose the machines to sound, the bubbles will begin to shake wildly, pushing water away and shooting the robots forward.

“Imagine if microrobots could perform certain tasks in the body, such as surgeries without cutting into the body,” said Jin Lee, lead author of the study, “we can simply introduce the robots to the body through a pill or an injection, and they would perform the procedure themselves. If that sounds like something copied from science fiction, that’s because it is.” He imagined that, just like in the movie, microrobots could move through a person’s blood stream, seeking out targeted areas. “Once there, the machines slowly released their medicine over the course of about two days. Such a steady flow of medicine could improve the outcome for patients. ”Lee added, “But there is a lot of work to do before microrobots can travel through real human bodies.”

For a start, the group wants to make the machines fully biodegradable so that they would eventually disappear in the body, causing no damage at all. “If we can make them work in the bladder,” Lee said, “maybe patients wouldn’t have to come into the clinic as often.” 8．What is an advantage of the invention? A．The small size. C．The big bubble.

B．The rocket-like shape. D．The 3D-printed material. B．Italian cuisine occupies the market D．Homemade dishes go popular

9．What can we infer from Lee’s words about the robots in Paragraph 3?

试卷第3页，共10页

A．They cure bladder diseases. B．They help to give patients pills. C．They are inspired from science fiction. D．They have performed tasks in human bodies.

10．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “biodegradable” in Paragraph 4?

A．Efficient. C．Recyclable.

11．What is the purpose of the text?

A．To introduce a healthcare robot.

B．To advertise a medical machine. B．Resolvable D．Sensitive.

C．To arouse interest in developing robots. D．To raise concern about bladder diseases.

Why would anyone want to write a poem? One reason to write a poem is to dig from yourself some thought, feeling, comprehension or question that you didn’t know was in you, or in the world. Other forms of writing, such as scientific papers, political analysis and journalism, attempt to record something known. Poetry is a release of something previously unknown.

Poetry opens our eyes and offers increase of reach. We live so often on a lonely island, separated from ourselves and others due to social or personal reasons. To step into a poem is to agree to risk. Writing takes down all protections to see what steps forward. Poetry is a trick of language, in which the writer is both magician and audience. You reach your hand into the hat and surprise yourself with a rabbit or memory, with unusual verbs or rhymes. Poems lead to revolutions of being. Whatever the old order was, a poem will change it.

What we want from art is whatever is missing from the lives we are living and making. Something is always missing, and so art-making is endless.

There is also the matter of connection. You can’t write an image, a metaphor (暗喻), a story, a phrase without approaching the shared world, without recognizing that your supposed solitude (独处) is at every point touching some others. You can’t read a good poem without recognizing your own face in the poet’s experience. It allows us to feel more strongly and accurately what is already present. Then it expands that and expands us.

Does art change anything by its existence or non-existence? I’d argue that art, if it is genuinely art, is a force for the good. That the rearrangement of words can reopen the

potential of both inner and outer worlds — I cannot say why I feel this to be true, except that I feel it so when I read good poems. 12．How does the writer introduce the topic?

A．By listing numbers. C．By quoting a saying.

B．By giving examples. D．By making a comparison.

13．What is the similarity between poetry and magic?

A．They bring surprises. C．They change the world.

B．They follow traditions. D．They are arts of language.

14．What can a good poem do according to the text?

A．Criticize social reality. C．Bridge poets and readers.

15．What is the author’s attitude towards art?

A．Objective.

B．Favorable.

C．Unclear.

D．Doubtful.

B．Apply new expressions. D．Remind readers of the past.

二、七选五

Looking for a rewarding volunteering activity? Get outdoors and glean (拾落穗)! Picking fresh, healthy produce that is donated to food banks is a win-win activity. 16

Gleaning is not a new concept. In 18th-century England, there was a law that provided unharvested crops should be given away to the poor. These days, there is a lot of produce that sits in the fields after harvest. 17 They will usually plant too much or will leave the produce that looks imperfect. Unfortunately, much of this produce would go unused in the field.

Gleaning offers farm-fresh, healthy food for people concerned about food security. That is where gleaners come in. Gleaning addresses farm waste and food poverty by providing free healthy food straight from farm to table. And today, with a cost of living crisis, there are more hungry people. 18 In 2017, there were five gleaning groups in the UK, while today there are 25.

Holly, head of the Cornwall Gleaning Group, said that her volunteers send around 300 boxes a week to food banks and community kitchens in her area. 19 “Any time I go gleaning, I am lifted up. For the volunteers, it’s so good for mental health, getting outside and doing something practical that’s good for the planet,” Holly said.

20 To make this happen, more groups need to be established with farmers and more people need to volunteer their time to help. This form of helping may soon become common. It is rewarding for volunteers who harvest in the fields and it also offers fresh and nutritious food to those who need it the most.

A．They find the work very delightful. B．Luckily, interest in gleaning is growing. C．Hopes are that awareness will continue to grow. D．And it is also gaining popularity across the globe. E．To assist the hungry people, more crops will be grown. F．This is due to overproduction on the part of the farmers. G．From farm to table, gleaning is often a worthless experience.

The Real Champion

I like running and for me, success was winning every race I participated in. My classmates called me Incredible Dash. One day, there was a sporting event planned in my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in almost every race there was. A large number of people gathered to watch. Crowds were eager to see the running race because it was the most exciting event. When the race for 400m started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first in the race and received a big round of applause. While it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of my world.

In the race for 200m, I ran full speed and finished the race first once again. The crowd gave thundering claps to me. I jumped all over the ground and was not bothered to give handshakes to my fellow racers.

Then came the race for 100m. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys quit the race except one, a boy named Matt who was invited as an honorary runner. Matt was born with low vision but he was a determined participant of many sports. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking whether he would like to quit too. I, wild with joy, thought I would win the champion without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to complete the event. I sniffed (嗤之以鼻), “It is a waste of time. I bet he even doesn’t figure out where the finish line is.”
