During the day,Mike Kosciuk teaches students at De La Salle Collegiate High School in Michigan.However,in the evenings and on weekends,Mike provides instruction on Tutor.com.Not only does he teach students math from 9th grade through college level,he also teaches other online teachers how to improve their teaching skills.Recognized as a leader in online teaching,Mike was the February 2010 Tutor of the Month for Tutor.com.
Chrissy Markley is one of many online teachers who are taking virtual(虚拟的) learning to the lower grades.At Arizona Connections Academy,an online public school,Chrissy teaches 7/8th Grade Gifted Language Arts and 9th Grade Language Arts.Once a 6th grade teacher in a traditional public school area,Chrissy enjoys teaching in the virtual classroom.Recognized as an excellent teacher,she was named the school's 2011 Teacher of the Year.
Having ten years' experience in online teaching,Jody Shine began teaching with Davenport University.When she was asked to teach online,she was skeptical at first.“I feared something would be lost in the give and take of classroom discussion,” Jody said.“Now I know online teaching allows students greater freedom to express themselves.”Today,Jody uses voice recordings and online videos to teach English Composition to Davenport students.

Three weeks ago,we were living paycheck to paycheck.We survived on my husband's lowpaid job and my disability.We have kids.Also,I was experiencing a terrible tumor(肿瘤)on my neck,leaving me staying in bed in extreme pain,but the operation was to be $8,000,out of pocket,because Medicare only covers 80%.
To take me to the hospital,my husband took a day off work.At 7 a.m.,his boss called.He was being placed on paid leaving,waiting for an investigation into a mistake he had made at work.
We both panicked.Having slowly worked our way out of poverty(贫穷) for 8 years,we were so close to being OK and it was all falling away.As my husband was a great worker,we decided to stay positive and hope for the best.However,two days later he received the official phone call—he was fired.
Having no savings to pay bills,we cried hopelessly.We went to the welfare office only to be told that he couldn't collect unemployment for 8 weeks,meaning he had the possibility of having $0 income for two months.It was terrifying.
With only enough food to last for about a week,we applied for food stamps and Medicaid.Then we worked together—diving into job applications.After sending out resumes(简历)to everywhere in the field,he came across some promising companies.We kept our fingers crossed.Hopefully,we could get out of trouble as early as possible.
Soon I got a phone call—my neck operation was going to be free now that we were poor again.And my husband got an email invitation for a video interview and it went great.He would be paid $3 more an hour than his last job.What a roller coaster ride!

A.They showed little concern for each other.
B.They lived in an extremely poor area.
C.They could hardly make ends meet.
D.They led a rich and comfortable life.
C [细节理解题。根据第一段中“Three weeks ago,we were living paycheck to paycheck.We survived on my husband's lowpaid job and my disability.We have kids.(三个星期前,我们靠薪水过日子。我们在丈夫的低薪工作和我的残疾中坚持生活。我们有孩子。)”可知,丈夫被解雇前,他们家里的生活几乎入不敷出。故选C项。]
5.Why did the boss call the husband?
A.To ask him about the truth.
B.To tell him about a decision.
C.To persuade him to quit his job.
D.To warn him to mind his work attitude.

6.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A.We were uncertain about our future.
B.We waited hopelessly.
C.We felt more and more nervous.
D.We wished ourselves good luck.
D [句义猜测题。根据第五段中“After sending out resumes(简历)to everywhere in the field,he came across some promising companies.We kept our fingers crossed.Hopefully,we could get out of trouble as early as possible.(在四处投递简历后,他遇到了一些很有前途的公司。我们祈求好运。希望我们能尽早摆脱困境。)”由作者表达希望他们能早日摆脱困境可知,作者祈祷他们得到好运,因此猜测画线句“We kept our fingers crossed”意为“我们祈求自己好运”。故选D项。]
7.What life lesson has the author learned from her experience?
A.Many hands make light work.
B.Actions speak louder than words.
C.When one door shuts,another opens.
D.One false step makes a great difference.
C [推理判断题。根据最后一段“Soon I got a phone call—my neck operation was going to be free now that we were poor again.And my husband got an email invitation for a video interview and it went great.He would be paid $3 more an hour than his last job.What a roller coaster ride!(不久,我接到了一个电话——由于我们又变穷了,我的颈部手术将免费。我丈夫收到了一个视频面试的电子邮件邀请,一切都很顺利。他每小时的工资将比上一份工作多3美元。真是坐过山车啊!)”可知,作者从她的经历中明白了当一扇门关闭的时候,生活会为你开启另一扇门的道理。故选C项。]

Going on vacation can be challenging for people with physical disabilities.Hotels aren't always clear about how accessible they are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to obtain.
This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in.The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages,depending on the person's needs.
Today Wheel the World offers over 30 accessible destinations in the U.S.and abroad. They've served almost 900 disabled people,their family,and friends. Travelers can sign up for trips to destinations such as New York,Hawaii,Paris,London,and Kruger National Park in South Africa.Trip packages can include adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs,which can be used on the beach and in the ocean,and kayaks(皮艇),which can help those disabled to kayak.The team also checks the accessibility of destinations themselves,evaluating things such as door widths,bed heights,bathrooms' accessibility and if lifts are functioning.
Silberstein,the company's founder,says there are some trips that are suitable for blind people,though Wheel the World focuses on people with mobility issues.And in the future,they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss,and people with emotional disabilities.“One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips,which is a gap Wheel the World aims to close,” says Silberstein.
Wheel the World is working to enlarge tours in Europe—currently their website lists London and Paris as the only destinations on the continent,but their eventual goal is much higher.“We want to allow millions of disabled people to travel to thousands of destinations,” Silberstein says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一个名为Wheel the World的网站。该网站根据残疾人的需要,为残疾人提供合适的旅游服务。
8.What is the function of the first paragraph?
A.To show the great success Wheel the World has gained.
B.To tell us the difficulties the disabled face in life.
C.To introduce the background of Wheel the World.
D.To remind us of the problems with hotel service.
C [推理判断题。根据第一段“Going on vacation can be...are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to obtain.”可知,度假对于残疾人来说很难,接着第二段第一句“This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in.”表明这就是在线旅游市场网站Wheel the World起作用的地方。由此推断第一段就是为了介绍创办Wheel the World网站的背景。故选C项。]
9.What does Wheel the World focus on?
A.Collecting travel information for tourists.
B.Increasing the online sales of wheelchairs.
C.Extending travel business to the whole world.
D.Providing proper travel services for the disabled.
D [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages,depending on the person's needs.”可知该网站根据残疾人的需要,为残疾人提供特殊的旅游套餐。也就是为残疾人提供合适的旅游服务。故选D项。]
10.What does the text mainly tell us?
A.Silberstein has made significant contributions to global tourism.
B.Wheel the World helps people with disabilities enjoy their vacations.
C.Advanced equipment is enabling the disabled to travel around the world.
D.Tour packages intended for blind and deaf tourists have won wide recognition.

11.Which of the following can best describe Silberstein?
A.Thoughtful and fullhearted.
B.Determined and humorous.
C.Flexible but aimless.
D.Creative but hesitant.
A [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“ they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss,and people with emotional disabilities.‘One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips,which is a gap Wheel the World aims to close,’ says Silberstein.”可知,他们计划为听力丧失的人和有情感障碍的人提供旅行服务。“对身体残疾的旅行者来说,最大的障碍之一是寻找关于他们也可以去的旅行的信息,而他的网站旨在(帮助残疾人)克服这一障碍,”西尔伯斯坦说。由此可以看出西尔伯斯坦是个体贴(thoughtful)又全心全意为残疾人着想(fullhearted)的人。故选A项。]

Nao,the first robot able to show feelings,has been created by a European research team.When Nao is sad,he lowers his head and looks down.When he's happy,he raises his arms for a hug.Nothing is out of the ordinary,except that Nao is a robot.
“We're modeling the first years of life,” says Lola Canamero,a computer scientist at the University of Hertforshire.“The feelings are shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or verbal(言语的) expressions.”
In the future,says the scientist,robots are likely to act as companions,provide support for old people,and help people shop online.In such uses,the display of feeling will be important in making the interactions(交往) more natural and comfortable.
Nao has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a oneyearold child.It can memorize faces,and knows the basic rules of good and bad.Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on.The actions going with each feeling are preprogrammed,but Nao decides for itself when to display them.
Nao is also programmed to have different personalities.A more independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room,while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the room that may be harmful.
Canamero's team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications.Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in hospitals to support the roles of doctors,nurses and parents.Children might find that a small,friendlylooking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious.“We want to explore different roles—the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and explain what they have to do.We want to help the children to control their anxiety.” she says.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一个新型机器人Nao,这个机器人的独特之处在于它拥有比较丰富的情感表达,可根据不同情绪状态做出相应的反应。
12.According to the text,Nao________.
A.displays different feelings in different situations
B.is able to copy adult emotional displays
C.can remember people's feelings
D.learns feelings from facial expressions
A [ 细节理解题。由第一段中的“Nao,the first robot able to show feelings,has been created by a European research team.When Nao is sad,he lowers his head and looks down.When he's happy,he raises his arms for a hug.(一个欧洲研究小组发明了第一个能够表达感情的机器人Nao。当Nao伤心的时候,他低下头往下看。当他高兴的时候,他举起双臂要拥抱。”可知Nao在不同的情况下表现出不同的感受。故选A项。]
13.What can we learn from the text?
A.Scientists worked on facial and spoken expressions to create Nao's emotions.
B.The time when Nao displays feelings has been preprogrammed.
C.Emotional programming is used in medicine production.
D.Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable.
D [细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Children might find that a small,friendlylooking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious.(孩子们可能会发现,一个小的,看起来友好的机器人,可以理解他们的情绪状态,使他们不那么焦虑)”可知,具有情感技能的机器人可以让孩子们感觉更舒服。故选D项。]
14.What can't robots do in the future according to the scientist?
A.They can work as your companion.
B.They can aid old people.
C.They can shop with you.
D.They can show their feelings.
C [细节理解题。由第一段中的“Nao,the first robot able to show feelings,has been created by a European research team.When Nao is sad,he lowers his head and looks down.When he's happy,he raises his arms for a hug.(一个欧洲研究小组发明了第一个能够表达感情的机器人Nao。当Nao伤心的时候,他低下头往下看。当他高兴的时候,他举起双臂要拥抱。)”可知,未来像Nao一样的机器人能表达他们的感情,D项不符合题意;由第三段中的“In the future,says the scientist,robots are likely to act as companions,provide support for old people,and help people shop online.(这位科学家说,在未来,机器人很可能成为同伴,为老年人提供支持,并帮助人们在网上购物。)”可知,A、B两项不符合题意,科学家说未来机器人只能帮助人们在网上购物,并未说机器人能和人一起购物,C项符合题意。故选C项。]
15.What is the text mainly about?
A.The relationship between humans and robots.
B.The roles that robots play in different fields.
C.The first robot able to show feelings.
D.The long history of robots.
C [主旨大意题。由第一段中的“Nao,the first robot able to show feelings,has been created by a European research team.When Nao is sad,he lowers his head and looks down.When he's happy,he raises his arms for a hug.(一个欧洲研究小组发明了第一个能够表达感情的机器人Nao。当Nao伤心的时候,他低下头往下看。当他高兴的时候,他举起双臂要拥抱。)”,第四段第一句“Nao has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a oneyearold child.(Nao被设计成模仿一岁小孩的情感技能。)”,第五段第一句“Nao is also programmed to have different personalities.(Nao也被设计成有不同的性格。)”和最后一段中的“Children might find that a small,friendlylooking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious.(孩子们可能会发现,一个小的,看起来友好的机器人,可以理解他们的情绪状态,使他们不那么焦虑。)”可知文章主要讲第一个能表达感情的机器人Nao。故选C项。]
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项选项中有两项为多余选项。
Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good,most would admit that their spoken English is poor.Whenever I speak to a Chinese student,they always say,“My spoken English is poor.” 16 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 17 However,you can speak with a limited vocabulary,if you choose a positive attitude.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
18 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly.However,in speaking your aim is fluency.You want to get your message across,to talk to someone in English,as quickly and as well as you can,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense,but it doesn't matter. 19
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth,most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 20
A.The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
B.Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.
C.They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
D.If you have this proactive outlook,then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
E.Second,they are afraid of making mistakes.
F.However,their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!
G.The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了提高英语口语水平的方法,作者给出了自己的建议和意见。
16.F [根据上文“Whenever I speak to a Chinese student,they always say,‘My spoken English is poor.’(每当我和中国学生说话时,他们总是说,‘我的英语口语很差。’)”及下文“I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.(我想说的是,他们在英语口语方面的问题可能有一些原因。)”可知,F项能够承上启下。故选F。]
17.B [根据上文“First,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.(首先,由于词汇量有限,他们找不到合适的词来表达自己。)”可知,B.“Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.(显然,更好的答案是扩大他们的词汇量。)”在讲词汇量的问题,符合语境。故选B。]
18.E [根据下文“Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.(有时他们在说话时犯错误,因为他们害羞和紧张。)”可知,E.“Second,they are afraid of making mistakes.(第二,他们害怕犯错误。)”符合语境。make mistakes是对应词组。故选E。]
19.A [根据上文“You want to get your message across,to talk to someone in English,as quickly and as well as you can,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense,but it doesn't matter.(你想要传达你的信息,尽可能快地用英语和别人交谈,即使有时你可能会使用错误的单词或时态,但这并不重要。)”可知,A.“The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.(和你说话的人会理解你的意思,也会原谅他听到的任何错误。)”符合语境。故选A。]
20.D [根据上文“Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.(他们不是主动寻找机会提高英语口语,而是被动地等待说英语的机会,不知道为什么他们的英语总是很差。)”可知,D.“If you have this proactive outlook,then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.(如果你有这种积极主动的态度,那么无论你走到哪里,你都会看到英语学习的机会。)”符合语境。故选D。]

Dear schoolmates,
The novel coronavirus has made its way around the world.Faced with the crisis,we students should respond actively to the appeal from our government and experts and try our best to do as follows.
First,stay at home and don't go out unless necessary.In addition,do wear masks while you are out and wash hands as often as possible.Most importantly,everyone should have a positive attitude to the campaign with the disease.
There may be a long way for us to go,but we should have faith in the fact that tomorrow will be more beautiful.

It was shortly after one o'clock in the morning and Mr. Fairfax was really tired.He had been driving for over five hours,heading for a small town far away from home.The weather was clear but it was dark and Mr. Fairfax could not find a motel to spend the night.Completely exhausted,he decided to stop by the roadside for a few hours' sleep at the wheel of his car.He fell asleep almost the moment he closed his eyes.But soon he was awakened by a man tapping on the car window.“I say,you don't happen to know the time,do you?” the stranger asked.
Mr. Fairfax wound down the window and thrust his head out.“It's around one o'clock,”he answered.Then he wound up his window and soon fell back into a deep slumber.
Half an hour later,another guy came up and knocked on his window who also inquired about the time.Once again,Mr. Fairfax gathered his thoughts and told him that it was just after one thirty.
When the same thing happened yet again,Mr. Fairfax became increasingly irritated.Sleepdeprived,he began to raise his voice at the passerby:“It's two o'clock,God damn it!And why can't you get yourself a watch like the rest of us?”
This time when he was winding up the window,Mr. Fairfax figured out how to make sure no one else disturbed him.He found some paper and a pencil and wrote a note that he placed on the windscreen of his car.It said:“I don't know what time it is!” Amused by his good idea,he happily drifted off back to sleep again.
Not long afterwards,the note was spotted by a policeman on his night patrol.Intent on fulfilling his duty to assist motorists,he tapped on Mr. Fairfax's car window.
“Well,sir,” the policeman said.“Now it is five past three!”

“For the sake of God!”With a loud noise of fist hitting the wheel,the car window was wound down.Mr. Fairfax thrust his head out again,staring at the man breaking his sweet dream,his eyes red for lack of sleep.“How dare you!” Mr. Fairfax shouted,“I may kill you if you do this again!”“Uh...Excuse me,” the policeman replied tentatively.“I was just doing my duty.You know...” “Oh,please!Go ahead,sir.Just don't disturb me!” Winding up the window,Mr. Fairfax were eager to go back to sleep.
“I'm sorry Mister,but I think sleeping in the car by the roadside is not a good choice,” said the police.“You think?” Mr. Fairfax was still angry.“Yeah,so I was thinking you may spend the rest of the night in my office.It's not far from here by the way.”“Well,” Mr. Fairfax started to feel uneasy,“I have to say thanks a lot,really.And I'm also sorry for the rudeness just now.”“Oh,that's OK.But I'm afraid you have to pay a fine of $10 for parking by the roadside,” the police wrote a ticket with a tricky smile.

Three weeks ago,we were living paycheck to paycheck.We survived on my husband's lowpaid job and my disability.We have kids.Also,I was experiencing a terrible tumor(肿瘤)on my neck,leaving me staying in bed in extreme pain,but the operation was to be $8,000,out of pocket,because Medicare only covers 80%.
To take me to the hospital,my husband took a day off work.At 7 a.m.,his boss called.He was being placed on paid leaving,waiting for an investigation into a mistake he had made at work.
We both panicked.Having slowly worked our way out of poverty(贫穷) for 8 years,we were so close to being OK and it was all falling away.As my husband was a great worker,we decided to stay positive and hope for the best.However,two days later he received the official phone call—he was fired.
Having no savings to pay bills,we cried hopelessly.We went to the welfare office only to be told that he couldn't collect unemployment for 8 weeks,meaning he had the possibility of having $0 income for two months.It was terrifying.
With only enough food to last for about a week,we applied for food stamps and Medicaid.Then we worked together—diving into job applications.After sending out resumes(简历)to everywhere in the field,he came across some promising companies.We kept our fingers crossed.Hopefully,we could get out of trouble as early as possible.
Soon I got a phone call—my neck operation was going to be free now that we were poor again.And my husband got an email invitation for a video interview and it went great.He would be paid $3 more an hour than his last job.What a roller coaster ride!

Going on vacation can be challenging for people with physical disabilities.Hotels aren't always clear about how accessible they are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to obtain.
This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in.The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages,depending on the person's needs.
Today Wheel the World offers over 30 accessible destinations in the U.S.and abroad. They've served almost 900 disabled people,their family,and friends. Travelers can sign up for trips to destinations such as New York,Hawaii,Paris,London,and Kruger National Park in South Africa.Trip packages can include adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs,which can be used on the beach and in the ocean,and kayaks(皮艇),which can help those disabled to kayak.The team also checks the accessibility of destinations themselves,evaluating things such as door widths,bed heights,bathrooms' accessibility and if lifts are functioning.
Silberstein,the company's founder,says there are some trips that are suitable for blind people,though Wheel the World focuses on people with mobility issues.And in the future,they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss,and people with emotional disabilities.“One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips,which is a gap Wheel the World aims to close,” says Silberstein.
Wheel the World is working to enlarge tours in Europe—currently their website lists London and Paris as the only destinations on the continent,but their eventual goal is much higher.“We want to allow millions of disabled people to travel to thousands of destinations,” Silberstein says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一个名为Wheel the World的网站。该网站根据残疾人的需要,为残疾人提供合适的旅游服务。
8.What is the function of the first paragraph?

C.To introduce the background of Wheel the World.
D.To remind us of the problems with hotel service.

9.What does Wheel the World focus on?
A.Collecting travel information for tourists.
B.Increasing the online sales of wheelchairs.

11.Which of the following can best describe Silberstein?
A.Thoughtful and fullhearted.
B.Determined and humorous.
C.Flexible but aimless.
D.Creative but hesitant.
A [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“ they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss,and people with emotional disabilities.‘One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips,which is a gap Wheel the World aims to close,’ says Silberstein.”可知,他们计划为听力丧失的人和有情感障碍的人提供旅行服务。“对身体残疾的旅行者来说,最大的障碍之一是寻找关于他们也可以去的旅行的信息,而他的网站旨在(帮助残疾人)克服这一障碍,”西尔伯斯坦说。由此可以看出西尔伯斯坦是个体贴(thoughtful)又全心全意为残疾人着想(fullhearted)的人。故选A项。]

Nao,the first robot able to show feelings,has been created by a European research team.When Nao is sad,he lowers his head and looks down.When he's happy,he raises his arms for a hug.Nothing is out of the ordinary,except that Nao is a robot.
“We're modeling the first years of life,” says Lola Canamero,a computer scientist at the University of Hertforshire.“The feelings are shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or verbal(言语的) expressions.”
In the future,says the scientist,robots are likely to act as companions,provide support for old people,and help people shop online.In such uses,the display of feeling will be important in making the interactions(交往) more natural and comfortable.
Nao has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a oneyearold child.It can memorize faces,and knows the basic rules of good and bad.Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on.The actions going with each feeling are preprogrammed,but Nao decides for itself when to display them.
Nao is also programmed to have different personalities.A more independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room,while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the room that may be harmful.
Canamero's team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications.Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in hospitals to support the roles of doctors,nurses and parents.Children might find that a small,friendlylooking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious.“We want to explore different roles—the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and explain what they have to do.We want to help the children to control their anxiety.” she says.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一个新型机器人Nao,这个机器人的独特之处在于它拥有比较丰富的情感表达,可根据不同情绪状态做出相应的反应。
12.According to the text,Nao________.
A.displays different feelings in different situations
B.is able to copy adult emotional displays
C.can remember people's feelings
D.learns feelings from facial expressions
A [ 细节理解题。由第一段中的“Nao,the first robot able to show feelings,has been created by a European research team.When Nao is sad,he lowers his head and looks down.When he's happy,he raises his arms for a hug.(一个欧洲研究小组发明了第一个能够表达感情的机器人Nao。当Nao伤心的时候,他低下头往下看。当他高兴的时候,他举起双臂要拥抱。”可知Nao在不同的情况下表现出不同的感受。故选A项。]
13.What can we learn from the text?
A.Scientists worked on facial and spoken expressions to create Nao's emotions.
B.The time when Nao displays feelings has been preprogrammed.
C.Emotional programming is used in medicine production.
D.Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable.
D [细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Children might find that a small,friendlylooking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious.(孩子们可能会发现,一个小的,看起来友好的机器人,可以理解他们的情绪状态,使他们不那么焦虑)”可知,具有情感技能的机器人可以让孩子们感觉更舒服。故选D项。]
14.What can't robots do in the future according to the scientist?
A.They can work as your companion.
B.They can aid old people.
C.They can shop with you.
D.They can show their feelings.
C [细节理解题。由第一段中的“Nao,the first robot able to show feelings,has been created by a European research team.When Nao is sad,he lowers his head and looks down.When he's happy,he raises his arms for a hug.(一个欧洲研究小组发明了第一个能够表达感情的机器人Nao。当Nao伤心的时候,他低下头往下看。当他高兴的时候,他举起双臂要拥抱。)”可知,未来像Nao一样的机器人能表达他们的感情,D项不符合题意;由第三段中的“In the future,says the scientist,robots are likely to act as companions,provide support for old people,and help people shop online.(这位科学家说,在未来,机器人很可能成为同伴,为老年人提供支持,并帮助人们在网上购物。)”可知,A、B两项不符合题意,科学家说未来机器人只能帮助人们在网上购物,并未说机器人能和人一起购物,C项符合题意。故选C项。]
15.What is the text mainly about?
A.The relationship between humans and robots.
B.The roles that robots play in different fields.
C.The first robot able to show feelings.
D.The long history of robots.
C [主旨大意题。由第一段中的“Nao,the first robot able to show feelings,has been created by a European research team.When Nao is sad,he lowers his head and looks down.When he's happy,he raises his arms for a hug.(一个欧洲研究小组发明了第一个能够表达感情的机器人Nao。当Nao伤心的时候,他低下头往下看。当他高兴的时候,他举起双臂要拥抱。)”,第四段第一句“Nao has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a oneyearold child.(Nao被设计成模仿一岁小孩的情感技能。)”,第五段第一句“Nao is also programmed to have different personalities.(Nao也被设计成有不同的性格。)”和最后一段中的“Children might find that a small,friendlylooking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious.(孩子们可能会发现,一个小的,看起来友好的机器人,可以理解他们的情绪状态,使他们不那么焦虑。)”可知文章主要讲第一个能表达感情的机器人Nao。故选C项。]
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项选项中有两项为多余选项。
Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good,most would admit that their spoken English is poor.Whenever I speak to a Chinese student,they always say,“My spoken English is poor.” 16 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 17 However,you can speak with a limited vocabulary,if you choose a positive attitude.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
18 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly.However,in speaking your aim is fluency.You want to get your message across,to talk to someone in English,as quickly and as well as you can,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense,but it doesn't matter. 19
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth,most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 20
A.The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
B.Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.
C.They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
D.If you have this proactive outlook,then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
E.Second,they are afraid of making mistakes.
F.However,their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!
G.The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了提高英语口语水平的方法,作者给出了自己的建议和意见。
16.F [根据上文“Whenever I speak to a Chinese student,they always say,‘My spoken English is poor.’(每当我和中国学生说话时,他们总是说,‘我的英语口语很差。’)”及下文“I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.(我想说的是,他们在英语口语方面的问题可能有一些原因。)”可知,F项能够承上启下。故选F。]
17.B [根据上文“First,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.(首先,由于词汇量有限,他们找不到合适的词来表达自己。)”可知,B.“Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.(显然,更好的答案是扩大他们的词汇量。)”在讲词汇量的问题,符合语境。故选B。]
18.E [根据下文“Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.(有时他们在说话时犯错误,因为他们害羞和紧张。)”可知,E.“Second,they are afraid of making mistakes.(第二,他们害怕犯错误。)”符合语境。make mistakes是对应词组。故选E。]
19.A [根据上文“You want to get your message across,to talk to someone in English,as quickly and as well as you can,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense,but it doesn't matter.(你想要传达你的信息,尽可能快地用英语和别人交谈,即使有时你可能会使用错误的单词或时态,但这并不重要。)”可知,A.“The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.(和你说话的人会理解你的意思,也会原谅他听到的任何错误。)”符合语境。故选A。]
20.D [根据上文“Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.(他们不是主动寻找机会提高英语口语,而是被动地等待说英语的机会,不知道为什么他们的英语总是很差。)”可知,D.“If you have this proactive outlook,then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.(如果你有这种积极主动的态度,那么无论你走到哪里,你都会看到英语学习的机会。)”符合语境。故选D。]

40.took [考查时态。分析句子结构可知,空处填谓语动词,根据语境可知,句子应该用一般过去式,故填took。]
41.that [考查强调句。分析句子结构可知,句子是强调句,强调的部分是for this reason,故填that。]
42.greatly [考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处填副词作状语,修饰后面的形容词amazed,故填greatly。]
43.but [考查连词。分析句子结构并根据句意可知,空处填表示转折意义的连词,故填but。]
44.to [考查介词。分析句子结构可知,空处填介词,secret to意为“……的秘密/秘诀”,故填to。]
45.failures [考查名词复数。分析句子结构可知,空处填名词的复数形式,当failure泛指一般意义的“失败”时,是不可数名词;而空格所在句指飞人乔丹是经历了多次失败而获得成功,故填failures。]

Dear schoolmates,
The novel coronavirus has made its way around the world.Faced with the crisis,we students should respond actively to the appeal from our government and experts and try our best to do as follows.
First,stay at home and don't go out unless necessary.In addition,do wear masks while you are out and wash hands as often as possible.Most importantly,everyone should have a positive attitude to the campaign with the disease.
There may be a long way for us to go,but we should have faith in the fact that tomorrow will be more beautiful.

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。
It was shortly after one o'clock in the morning and Mr. Fairfax was really tired.He had been driving for over five hours,heading for a small town far away from home.The weather was clear but it was dark and Mr. Fairfax could not find a motel to spend the night.Completely exhausted,he decided to stop by the roadside for a few hours' sleep at the wheel of his car.He fell asleep almost the moment he closed his eyes.But soon he was awakened by a man tapping on the car window.“I say,you don't happen to know the time,do you?” the stranger asked.
Mr. Fairfax wound down the window and thrust his head out.“It's around one o'clock,”he answered.Then he wound up his window and soon fell back into a deep slumber.
Half an hour later,another guy came up and knocked on his window who also inquired about the time.Once again,Mr. Fairfax gathered his thoughts and told him that it was just after one thirty.
When the same thing happened yet again,Mr. Fairfax became increasingly irritated.Sleepdeprived,he began to raise his voice at the passerby:“It's two o'clock,God damn it!And why can't you get yourself a watch like the rest of us?”
This time when he was winding up the window,Mr. Fairfax figured out how to make sure no one else disturbed him.He found some paper and a pencil and wrote a note that he placed on the windscreen of his car.It said:“I don't know what time it is!” Amused by his good idea,he happily drifted off back to sleep again.
Not long afterwards,the note was spotted by a policeman on his night patrol.Intent on fulfilling his duty to assist motorists,he tapped on Mr. Fairfax's car window.
“Well,sir,” the policeman said.“Now it is five past three!”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

“For the sake of God!”With a loud noise of fist hitting the wheel,the car window was wound down._______________________________________________

“For the sake of God!”With a loud noise of fist hitting the wheel,the car window was wound down.Mr. Fairfax thrust his head out again,staring at the man breaking his sweet dream,his eyes red for lack of sleep.“How dare you!” Mr. Fairfax shouted,“I may kill you if you do this again!”“Uh...Excuse me,” the policeman replied tentatively.“I was just doing my duty.You know...” “Oh,please!Go ahead,sir.Just don't disturb me!” Winding up the window,Mr. Fairfax were eager to go back to sleep.
“I'm sorry Mister,but I think sleeping in the car by the roadside is not a good choice,” said the police.“You think?” Mr. Fairfax was still angry.“Yeah,so I was thinking you may spend the rest of the night in my office.It's not far from here by the way.”“Well,” Mr. Fairfax started to feel uneasy,“I have to say thanks a lot,really.And I'm also sorry for the rudeness just now.”“Oh,that's OK.But I'm afraid you have to pay a fine of $10 for parking by the roadside,” the police wrote a ticket with a tricky smile.
