22、We need to fail—failure is how we learn. If we never fail at anything, we probably haven't learned all that life has to teach us. 【1】

Don't criticize yourself for trying and never stop trying.

Trying or learning something new is often half the battle. Babies don't give up until they learn to walk. If you really want to change some behavior or learn to do something new, don't give up trying. 【2】, although you may get depressed by the lack of progress sometimes.

Understand the power of optimism.

While optimism is the ‘new happiness’, there is a certain power in optimistic thinking whether you believe it or not. Putting yourself in a more optimistic mindset(心态) can open you up to more possibilities.

Learn to rely on yourself first, then others.

Those who are self-reliant are also usually more resilient—meaning they can bounce back from problems, stress and heartbreak more quickly than those who aren't. 【3】—just become your own best friend, do everything that you can possibly do for yourself, and learn what your strengths and weaknesses are.

Don't look back.

【4】. But in fact, there's nothing back there to see. Spend just 10 percent more of your time looking forward to what life holds for you in the future, and I suspect you'll find yourself in a better position.

Failure is a normal and natural pan of life that is neither good nor bad---it's just how we learn.【5】, but how quickly you can accept your failure, learn something from it and try again.

A. We should cherish today

B. But how can we avoid failure?

C. But what can help us when we fail?

D. So the question is not whether you fail or not

E. If you give up, your progress will come to an end

F. Becoming more self-reliant is easier than it sounds

G. We spend too much of our adult lives looking back.

24、Nature has inspired researchers to develop a robotic gripper（抓取器）that behaves like an elephant's trunk(象鼻)to pick up and put down objects without breaking them. The University of New South Wales(UNSW)Sydney researchers sail the technology could be widely applied in industries where breakable objects are handled, such as agriculture, food and the scientific exploration industries—even for human rescue operations.

Dr Thanh Nho Do, UNSW Medical Robotics Lab director, said the gripper could reach consumers in the next 12 to 16 months if his team found an industry partner. “Our new soft fabric gripper is thin, flat, lightweight and can grip various objects—even in narrow spaces—for example, a pen inside a tube,” Dr Do said. “This gripper also has an improved real-time force sensor which is 15 times more sensitive than traditional designs and detects the grip strength required to prevent damage to objects it’s handling. The gripper body can change, enabling it to hold objects of various shapes and weights.”

Dr Do said the researchers found inspiration in nature when designing their soft fabric gripper. “Animals such as an elephant use the soft structures of their bodies to hold objects. These animals can do this because of a combination of highly sensitive organs, the sense of touch and the strength of thousands of muscles without bone—for example, an elephant's trunk has up to 40,000 muscles. So, we wanted to copy these gripping abilities,”he said.

Dr Do said the researchers' new soft gripper was an improvement on existing designs that had disadvantages that limited their application. “Many soft grippers are based on human hand-like structures with multiple inward-bending fingers, but this makes them unsuitable to grip objects that are strangely shaped, heavy or big, or objects smaller or larger than the gripper’s opening. Many existing soft grippers also lack the ability to provide sensory information and flexibility, which means you can’t use them with breakable objects or in narrow spaces,” he said. “Our technology can grip long objects and get them from narrow spaces, as well as get into holes to pick up objects.”

【1】What is Dr Thanh Nho Do's team trying to do at the moment?

A．Put the gripper on the market.

B．Partner with agriculturalists.

C．Perfect the gripper.

D．Increase their new products' sales.

【2】What is a characteristic of this robotic gripper?

A．It is quite hard.

B．It can change to meet needs

C．It comes in different shapes.

D．It is able to send real-time warnings.

【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．How the researchers carried out the study.

B．Where the researchers got the idea.

C．What the researchers want to achieve.

D．Why the researchers love nature.

【4】What is the problem with the existing grippers?

A．They are weak.

B．They are big and heavy.

C．They have limited applications.

D．They work differently from human hands.

25、Thieving Monkeys — Name Your Price

Human beings are not the only species able to negotiate a deal.

If you visit Uluwatu temple in Bali, be careful. The long-tailed macaques (猕猴) there are well-known thieves. They make a living by _________ visitors of their possessions and then holding those objects until a payment in the form of food is paid. That is quite clever. But professor Jean-Baptiste Leca wondered whether these monkeys are cleverer still. Sometimes, they do not accept the first _________ and hold out for more. He therefore asked himself whether macaques are able to _________ how valuable an object is to its owner, and factor that into their negotiations.

Professor Leca and his colleagues conducted their experiment by wandering around the temple with video cameras, recording the activities of the monkeys. Every time they saw a monkey show interest in a _________ tourist, they recorded the interaction. Not all attempts at robbery were successful. But of those that were, they analysed the _________ of almost 2,200.

To work out what was going on, they had first to establish the _________ values of food rewards to monkeys, and of stealable objects to people. The temple staff keep three sorts of reward available for use in negotiations _________ tourists who want to get their property back: raw eggs, biscuits and small bags of fruit. Different monkeys have different _________, but professor Leca established these for _________ animals by offering them choices between pairs of treats in an initial experiment.

To confirm which stealable objects are most __________ by people, they divided them into six classes: empty containers, such as phone cases and camera bags; accessories such as key rings; hats and headgear; shoes; spectacles and sunglasses; and electronics and wallets. They then observed, from the video recordings, how often victims __________ to bargain with the thief for the return of property belonging to different classes, and __________ classified objects into low value (the first two classes on the list), medium value (the second two) and high value (the third two).

They found that monkeys do have a good sense of what they are doing — __________, adults and sub-adults do. These animals have a preference for stealing high-value items, and will often hold out either for more rewards, or for better ones, if they are in possession of such items. But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up. Young ones make no such __________, and sub-adults are less good at doing so than adults.

In monkeys, as in people, guile（狡猾）is not a trick that is inborn. It has to be __________.

A．warning

B．robbing

C．reminding

D．clearing

A．deposit

B．dish

C．offer

26、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。

When Ruth was sixty-eight years old, she visited her daughter Judy and teenage granddaughter Marcy in California. They headed for their cabin, moving forty miles up and down the mountains in their car,along a narrow one-lane road that wound terrifyingly close to cliffs (悬崖).

After dinner, Marcy announced the water tank was low and that she would drive the car down to the pump and get water. Ruth was nervous about her young granddaughter driving down the narrow road by herself, but Judy reminded her that Marcy had been driving vehicles up there roads for many years

“Just be careful, Marcy”, her mother warned. “They’ve had a drought up here and the road along the cliff is pretty shaky. Be sure to hug the mountain side.”

Ruth and Judy watched Marcy from the big window where they could see the road winding down the mountainside. Fifteen minutes later, Judy was still watching when suddenly she screamed,”Oh no! She went over the cliff, Momma! The car and Marcy--they went over! We have to help her!Come on!”

Judy took off running desperately. Grabbing a three-foot-long walking stick against the cabin door, Ruth ran behind her, but Judy was quickly out of sight after the first turn in the road. Breathing hard, Ruth ran on and on, trying to catch up with her daughter. It was getting harder and harder to see anything at dusk.

Suddenly she stopped, not knowing where she was.”Marcy!Judy!”she shouted.

A faint voice .”Momma!”It was Judy.

Ruth screamed into the darkness “Judy,where are you?” Off to her right and down the cliff she heard, “Down here,Mother!Don’t come near the edge! I slipped on loose rocks and fell over. I’m down about ten feet.”

“Oh dear! Judy, what can I do?”

“Just stay back, Momma!”

Facing the situation, Ruth felt her heart was pounding, and chest pains almost took her breath away. She started to sob, totally at a loss what to do.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右：

2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。

At that moment, Ruth glimpsed at the walking stick, an idea striking her.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ruth held her close and said anxiously. “Judy. We have to get help for Marcy!”
