Martin Kocher, an international business student at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, has always been interested in exploring different cultures and traditions in preparation for a global career. Focusing on global management, he was super motivated (激励) to develop his career about sustainable development.
Kocher is set to graduate in May with a major in international business, expressing his gratitude to the university for training his international ambitions. After he completed the internship (实习) in Australia, he traveled to a small island of Lombok near Bali, Indonesia. A teacher at the local school told Kocher that the English language can empower students and allow them to bridge the cultural gap with people in other parts of the world, but the school lacked the resources.
As a result. when Kocher returned to U’W-Eau Claire, he founded Language 4 Lombok to connect English language resources from Chippewa Valley residents with the Indonesian island. Books from community book drives are shipped abroad to help children learn English.
His non-profit work is not his whole life. He is also a competitive diver, part-time real estate agent, enthusiastic photographer and writer. Dr. Kaishan Kong, a professor of Kocher said he is a real jack of all trades, and was impressed with his ability to connect different languages while maintaining an incredible enthusiasm for learning them.
Having benefited a lot from his own experiences Kocher encourages others to travel and venture internationally, calling it “one of the best investments you can make in yourself.”

D. To prepare his future work in a global environment.
5. What motivated Kocher to create Language 4 Lombok

Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health, according to a study published in the July 5, 2023, online issue of Neurology. “Our study found that gum (牙龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体) , which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer’s disease,” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph. D. of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan.
The study involved 172 people without memory problems. Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study. This was measured again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for the amount of gum disease.
Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1. 3 years of brain aging.
“These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. “The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is important, and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropnate false ones.”
Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations.
8. What is Yamaguchi’s study mainly about
A. The function of the hippocampus.
B. Ways of taking good care of one’s teeth
C. The harm and causes of brain shrinkage
D. The connection between dental health and the brain
9. How did researchers conduct the study
A. By collecting and comparing data. B. By referring to previous studies
C. By conducting a chemical experiment D. By doing research into dentists
10. What do the research findings indicate
A. Gum disease is increasing among people
B. Keeping teeth healthy is of great importance.
C Removing natural teeth is bad for dental health
D. Doing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease.
11. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. An advertisement. B. A textbook.
C. A newspaper. D. A guidebook.
D
Scientists have already applied robots like Roomba to work in the agriculture (农业). A Roomba works because it has wheels that function well on flat ground. However, fields are full of rough and rocky environments, which means it is difficult for robots to work in the fields. Luckily, scientists thought of centipedes (蜈蚣). With tens to hundreds of legs, they can move on any places without stopping. If they stop moving their body parts and feet, they basically stop moving instantly.
A team led by Chong developed a theory that proposes that adding leg pairs to the robot increases its ability to move firmly over challenging environments.
To test this, Juntao conducted a series of experiments where he and Daniel Soto built models to simulate (模拟) different natural environments. He then tested the robot by increasing its number of legs by two each time, starting with six and finally increasing to 16. As the leg count increased, the robot could more easily move across the surfaces, even without sensors. Finally, they tested the robot outdoors on real environments, where it was able to move in a variety of environments.
The researchers are applying their discoveries to farming. Goldman has co-founded a company that wants to use these robots to weed (除草) farmland where weedkillers are ineffective. “It’s truly impressive to see the multilegged robot easily moves on both lab-based and outdoor environments,” Juntao said. “Now we are deciding the most suitable number of legs to achieve motion. In the future, we hope to apply them for space exploration, and even search and rescue.”
12. What can we learn about Roomba
A. It can move on any places without stopping.
B. It can not work well in the rough farmlands.
C. It was newly invented and still in its early age.
D. It was inspired when scientists saw centipedes
13. Which of the following best describes the multilegged robot
A. Unpractical. B. Amusing. C. Ineffective. D. Promising.
14. What can we expect of the multilegged robot in the future
A. It will reach consumers soon. B. It will increase farm production.
C. It will be used in many other fields. D. It will take the place of weedkillers.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Centipedes Inspire Multilegged Robots’ Invention
B. Scientists Get a Huge Step in Studying Centipedes
C. Scientists Solved Challenges in Robots’ Creation
D. Multilegged Robots Brought Benefits to Farming

I’ll need a notebook, “ That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me.
After Mum put one or two coins to the side for the notebook, she said that was all we needed to buy for the week and we all relaxed a little. We didn’t have to go downtown and draw money out of Mum’s bank account, which could always give us such a warm and secure feeling for having enough to afford the life.
When Nels graduated from grammar school , he needed some money for high school We sat by the table and I offered my “ Little Bank” which was used for sudden emergencies such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to see a doctor. I laid the box carefully in front of Mum. After counting out the money in the little bank and finding there was not enough, we all agreed not to go to the bank but to find some ways.
Nels volunteered to work in Dillon’s grocery after school and Dad said he would give up smoking. Now there was enough money. We felt relieved.
So many things came out of the little bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play, Nel’s operation ... Whatever happened , we always knew we still had the bank to depend on. We never used her bank account.
That was twenty years ago.
Last year, I sold my first story. When the money came I thought of Mum’s bank account.

Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health, according to a study published in the July 5, 2023, online issue of Neurology. “Our study found that gum (牙龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体) , which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer’s disease,” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph. D. of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan.
The study involved 172 people without memory problems. Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study. This was measured again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for the amount of gum disease.
Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1. 3 years of brain aging.
“These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. “The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is important, and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropnate false ones.”
Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations.
8. What is Yamaguchi’s study mainly about
A. The function of the hippocampus.
B. Ways of taking good care of one’s teeth
C. The harm and causes of brain shrinkage
D. The connection between dental health and the brain
9. How did researchers conduct the study
A. By collecting and comparing data. B. By referring to previous studies
C. By conducting a chemical experiment D. By doing research into dentists
10. What do the research findings indicate
A. Gum disease is increasing among people
B. Keeping teeth healthy is of great importance.
C. Removing natural teeth is bad for dental health
D. Doing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease.
11. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. An advertisement. B. A textbook.
C. A newspaper. D. A guidebook.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C

Scientists have already applied robots like Roomba to work in the agriculture (农业). A Roomba works because it has wheels that function well on flat ground. However, fields are full of rough and rocky environments, which means it is difficult for robots to work in the fields. Luckily, scientists thought of centipedes (蜈蚣). With tens to hundreds of legs, they can move on any places without stopping. If they stop moving their body parts and feet, they basically stop moving instantly.
A team led by Chong developed a theory that proposes that adding leg pairs to the robot increases its ability to move firmly over challenging environments.
To test this, Juntao conducted a series of experiments where he and Daniel Soto built models to simulate (模拟) different natural environments. He then tested the robot by increasing its number of legs by two each time, starting with six and finally increasing to 16. As the leg count increased, the robot could more easily move across the surfaces, even without sensors. Finally, they tested the robot outdoors on real environments, where it was able to move in a variety of environments.
The researchers are applying their discoveries to farming. Goldman has co-founded a company that wants to use these robots to weed (除草) farmland where weedkillers are ineffective. “It’s truly impressive to see the multilegged robot easily moves on both lab-based and outdoor environments,” Juntao said. “Now we are deciding the most suitable number of legs to achieve motion. In the future, we hope to apply them for space exploration, and even search and rescue.”
12. What can we learn about Roomba
A. It can move on any places without stopping.
B. It can not work well in the rough farmlands.
C. It was newly invented and still in its early age.
D. It was inspired when scientists saw centipedes
13. Which of the following best describes the multilegged robot
A. Unpractical. B. Amusing. C. Ineffective. D. Promising.
14. What can we expect of the multilegged robot in the future
A. It will reach consumers soon. B. It will increase farm production.
C. It will be used in many other fields. D. It will take the place of weedkillers.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Centipedes Inspire Multilegged Robots’ Invention
B. Scientists Get a Huge Step in Studying Centipedes
C. Scientists Solved Challenges in Robots’ Creation
D. Multilegged Robots Brought Benefits to Farming
【答案】12 B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As the leg count increased, the robot could more easily move across the surfaces, even without sensors. Finally, they tested the robot outdoors on real environments, where it was able to move in a variety of environments.(随着腿部数量的增加，即使没有传感器，机器人也能更容易地在地面上移动。最后，他们在室外的真实环境中测试了机器人，在那里它能够在各种环境中移动)”可推知，多足机器人是有前景的。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In the future, we hope to apply them for space exploration, and even search and rescue.(在未来，我们希望将它们应用于太空探索，甚至是搜救)”可推知，它会被应用于许多其他领域。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文首先第一段介绍了研究多组机器人的原因及其灵感来源，第二、三段介绍了研究多足机器人的具体过程以及研究成果，第四段介绍了多足机器人目前在农业方面的应用，以及对其未来发展的期望。由此可知，A项“蜈蚣启发了多足机器人的发明”可以概括本文主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选A。

考查时态和主谓一致。句意：友谊通常在童年时期发展起来。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语使用动词，因句子表达的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，因主语为单数第三人称，故填develops。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：朋友会影响你的发展、成熟和责任感。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语使用名词，故填responsibility。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：如果你喜欢阅读和购物，你的大多数朋友也会这么做。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个抽象的动作，使用动名词作宾语，故填reading。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，the same为固定短语，含义为“一样”，符合句意，故填the。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：我们可以在网上交很多朋友，但这些朋友可能很肤浅。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作主语使用名词，根据空白处前面的指示代词these可知空白处应填复数名词，故填friends。
【41题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：为了让朋友成为我们生活中真正的一部分，我们应该放下智能手机。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做谓语，因与主语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，根据空白处前面的情态动词should可知此处使用了“情态动词+ be done”结构的被动语态，故填be put。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：我们应该亲自去见我们的朋友。分析句子结构，in person为固定句型，含义为“亲自”，符合句意，故填in。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：真正的朋友很难找到。分析句子结构，be difficult to do为固定短语，含义为“做……是困难的”，符合句意，故填to find。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：真正的朋友是你可以真诚地谈论任何话题或问题的人。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语使用副词，故填sincerely。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：真正的朋友是在你遇到麻烦时支持你的人。分析句子结构，这是一个包含以someone为先行词的定语从句的复合句，因先行词在定语从句中做主语指人，使用关系代词who引导定语从句，故填who。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mum and Her Bank Account
My family had the tradition to sit down by the kitchen table every Saturday night to count out the money Dad had brought home.
These are for the rent, and these for the groceries. “ Mum counted out and divided the big silver pieces.
I’ll need a notebook “ That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me.
After Mum put one or two coins to the side for the notebook, she said that was all we needed to buy for the week and we all relaxed a little. We didn’t have to go downtown and draw money out of Mum’s bank account, which could always give us such a warm and secure feeling for having enough to afford the life.
When Nels graduated from grammar school , he needed some money for high school We sat by the table and I offered my “ Little Bank” which was used for sudden emergencies such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to see a doctor. I laid the box carefully in front of Mum. After counting out the money in the little bank and finding there was not enough, we all agreed not to go to the bank but to find some ways.
Nels volunteered to work in Dillon’s grocery after school and Dad said he would give up smoking. Now there was enough money. We felt relieved.
So many things came out of the little bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play, Nel’s operation ... Whatever happened , we always knew we still had the bank to depend on. We never used her bank account.
That was twenty years ago.
Last year, I sold my first story. When the money came I thought of Mum’s bank account.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Knowing that there was no bank account at all, I felt shocked.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】So I hurried over to her home. On arriving, I gave the money to Mum and asked her to save it in the bank. Mum said she was very proud of me and asked me to go with her, because she didn’t know how. I asked how she had done that before. She said actually there was no bank account at all in all her life and she had never been to a bank before.
Knowing that there was no bank account at all, I felt shocked. I just didn’t know how to respond. Mum said seriously that it was not good for the kids to worry about life and she didn’t want us not to feel secure. My tears just burst and stories of these years jumped into my mind one by one...I got to feel how deep the love Mum had been giving us.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。文章讲述了作者妈妈的“银行账户”给作者一家人的生活带来安全感。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者的妈妈告诉家人她在银行里有一个账户，急需用钱时可以去银行取，让孩子们不要为生活担心。而全家人在面对生活中钱不够用的情况时，并没有动用银行里的钱，而是齐心协力找到了解决的办法。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：所以我赶紧去了妈妈家。后文应该续写我去妈妈家做什么。通过文章内容可知，我赚到了一笔钱，想起了妈妈的银行账户，我应该是去把钱交给妈妈，让她存到银行账户里。第二段开头是：知道根本没有银行账户，我感到震惊。本段应该为什么妈妈明明没有银行账户，而她却说有呢？此处可以联系文章，妈妈应该是不想让家人为生活担心，才虚拟了一个银行账户，这是妈妈对家人爱的表现。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：be proud of, actually, seriously等高级词汇和短语；文章恰当的使用了宾语从句，如Mum said she was very proud of me and asked me to go with her.和She said actually there was no bank account at all in all her life and she had never been to a bank before.，使文章表达更加地道。
