第一节(共15 小题,每小题 2分, 满分 30 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Inventors are always at work, dreaming up new technologies. Some inventions help us solve problems. Others make life easier, or more fun. Here, TFK(Time for Kids) presents 3 of our favorite inventions. See how they make us live a better life.
Stopping Sickness
Christine Schindler is an engineer. She wanted to help stop the spread of foodborne illnesses. So she created PATHSPOT. It uses light to scan a person’s hands for harmful germs. Restaurant employees hold their hands beneath the scanner. Then the scanner judges whether they must be rewashed. About 100 locations have started using the product since it launched in May.
Talking Eyes
For people who are blind or have other visual problems, the ORCAM MYEYE 2 could be a game changer. It might also prove useful for people with reading difficulties. Described as “talking glasses,” this AI device can be attached to any eyeglass frame. It can identify faces. It can also read text aloud. Fitting all this power into such a small device is like “putting an elephant in a small closet,” says Amnon Shashua, the inventor of the technology. Now the device can be bought online.
Sport-safe
Research shows that playing football increases the risk of brain injury. Still, about a million kids under the age of 13 play football, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. That’s where the VICIS ZERO1 YOUTH football helmet comes in. It has thick, force-absorbing support on the front and sides, where kids are likely to take the hardest hits on the field. Players on 1,500 youth teams have worn the helmet.
21. What is the function of Pathspot?
A. Killing the germs on hands. B. Checking if hands are clean.
C. Rewashing employees’ hands. D. Stopping the reproduction of germs.
22. Which of the following is the feature of Talking Eyes?
A. Low-noise. B. Portable.
C. Single-function D. Power-saving.
23. What can we learn about VICIS ZERO1 YOUTH ?
A. It is available to the public now. B. It improves kids’ football skills.
C. It is designed for kids under 13 only. D. Its front and sides are the hardest.
B
"I want to work full-time in China, honey." An overseas call awakened the wife from sound sleep. "Why?" asked the wife with surprise, in a drowsy(昏昏欲睡的)voice, from the other side of the ocean.
In the United States, he had a great future ahead. At the age of 36, he became the youngest professor in the history of the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University, for his academic achievements. At 40, he became a tenured(终身的)chair professor at Princeton.
When everything seemed perfect and admirable to others, he firmly decided to say goodbye to Princeton University, to an affluent life in the United States, and return to China.
The news spread explosively. Many expressed confusion, many persuaded him, many made fun of him, and still many waited to have a good laugh at him.
He said patriotism is the plainest feeling of a person. Who doesn't love his motherland, after all? In his heart, the American dream is already something past; the Chinese dream is rising.
After returning to China, he devoted all his energy, worked like crazy, and determined to do something big. He formed a life science research team. Every day, he works 12 to 16 hours at his laboratory.
He is Shi Yigong, nicknamed "Da Niu"(someone with extraordinary achievements)by Tsinghua students. His given name, Yigong, comes from an idiom that means "devoted to public interest whole-heartedly". "So far as I' m concerned, awards are of no special meaning." Shi says calmly.
In his 18 years of study in the United States, he never forgot his Chinese dream. In the next 18 years, the Chinese dream will be more beautiful and greater by the efforts of Shi Yigong and the likes of him.
24. Why was Shi determined to return to China?
A. To reunite with his wife. B.To serve his motherland.
C.To live a quieter life. D.To prove his own value.
25. What does the underlined word "affluent" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. normal. B. miserable. C. wealthy. D. lonely.
26. What can we know about Shi Yigong?
A.His decision was well-received. B.He doesn't care much about fame.
C.He is the youngest professor in history. D.His Chinese dream will be realized in 18 years.
27. Why is Shi Yigong called "Da Niu" by his Tsinghua students?
A.To support his life science research. B.To praise his devotion to the public.
C.To show his unusual achievements. D.To introduce his endless energy in work.
C
The world’s first robot police officer has started working. Its name is ‘RoboCop’ and it went into service for the Dubai Police earlier this week. Robocop’s first official duty was to greet guests at the opening of a security conference in Dubai. Apart from greeting visitors, its job was to answer questions and give directions. RoboCop has a built-in tablet for people to interact with. People can use the tablet to pay traffic fines and use other smart police services. The tablet is linked to a police station, so people can talk to human police officers. In addition, RoboCop can speak six languages, including English and Arabic. The 170 - centimetre - tall robot can also shake hands, salute people and recognize people’s emotions and facial expressions.
Dubai Police says RoboCop is the first of many robot police officers for the city. A spokesman said that by 2030, 25 per cent of the Dubai Police force will be robots. He said: “We are looking to make everything smart in Dubai Police. By 2030, we will have the first smart police station which won’t require human employees.”
“The RoboCop is the latest smart addition to the police force and has been designed to help us fight crime, keep the city safe and improve happiness levels,” He added. He also said that RoboCop would, “assist and help people in the malls or on the streets”. An official at the security conference commented that the future is here now, saying: “The age of the robots is no longer coming. It has arrived.”
28. What was Robocop’s first official duty?
A. To spot criminals in the crowd.
B. To serve guests at a meeting.
C. To organize a secure conference.
D. To offer help to the people on the street.
29. What has made Robocop “smart”?
A. Its social skills.
B. Its built - in tablet.
C. Its language talent.
D. Its ability to recognize people.
30. What can we learn from the spokesman?
A. Human police will become smarter.
B. RoboCop has done a good job at the meeting.
C. Robots will soon take the place of human police.
D. Robots will help Dubai Police do dangerous work.
31. What do the underlined sentences mean in the last paragraph?
A. The age of robots is now on the way.
B. Robots will change the world.
C. Scientists are making smarter robots.
D. The age of robots is already here.
D
If you make a list of the world’s top ten most challenging jobs, chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut. But think about the discouraging task millions of educators face each day as they try to shape a group of often bad-tempered, wild kids into intelligent, well-rounded individuals. That surely has to be the toughest job in the world, especially given that there is no promotion or bonus awaiting them even if they are wildly successful!
What if these all-important individuals that we often take for granted disappear from our lives? That was what Project Ed and Participant Media’s Teach campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to imagine in their recently-held competition. Entitled “A World Without Teachers”, its purpose was to inspire more young people to become teachers. However, the 62 amazing video submissions also serve as a reminder of how horrible things would be if we didn’t have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting is that even the youngest participants did not appear to be happy at the idea of not having anybody telling them what to do.
High-school student Savannah Wakefield reflected if art as we know it today would have been different without teachers. Would Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism? Los Angeles-based Miles Horst, who won the 1000 USD prize for the best adult submission imagines a world where teachers are replaced by a “brain box” in his fun lively entry.
Youth category winner Marina Barham’s video represents a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don’t just teach, they inspire—something that no electronic device, no matter how smart, can do! So the next time you think your teacher is being “mean” for trying to channel you in the right direction, imagine a life without him/her. We have a feeling it will not appear as rosy!
32. What is the text mainly about?
A. The significance of teachers.
B. The campaign to promote teachers’ status.
C. A survey of people’s views about teachers.
D. A competition to win the prize for the best teacher.
33. From the passage we can learn that .
A. teaching naughty kids is a very discouraging task
B. being a teacher is one of the most challenging jobs in the world
C. a successful teacher has the greatest chance to be promoted
D. teachers have little influence on kids’ individual development
34. What is the purpose of the project “A World Without Teachers”?
A. To attract kids to submit more videos of their teachers.
B. To encourage more people to go into teaching career.
C. To expect teachers to devote themselves to their jobs.
D. To remind students to appreciate teachers’ hard work.
35. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest?
A. Teaching is quite different from other jobs.
B. The future of teachers’ work appears inspiring.
C. A world without teachers will be unimaginable.
D. Many people attach more importance to teaching.

Running is the best way to keep our body fit and healthy. Those who want to burn fat and lose weight can run regularly in the morning. 36 When you run in the gentle morning atmosphere, you will get the psychological benefits along with the physical benefits. Running is more effective and also less time-consuming. Besides, in your busy day, morning is the free time to take some exercise.

muscle and burn fat. Some elite athletes(优秀运动员)say that when you wake up in the morning, you should first run for a while. 39
Most of the busy people do not have enough time to communicate properly with the family and
social people. 40 The morning exercise such as running and walking gives us the opportunity to

九、书面表达:
Overall, most of my diet contains food that is good for my body, such as fish, eggs, and fruit. The fruit and vegetables I eat are full of vitamins and minerals.
However, I do have some bad eating habits. Frequently I buy the grilled cold noodles on the street, which are delicious, but by no means healthy. Worse still, I have a hard time refusing sweets.
I should improve my eating habits by cutting down on desserts. I should also eat slowly and enjoy the food. And of course, eating a modest amount of food each time is a must.
Personally, a fundamental key to healthy eating is to follow a balanced diet, without too much or too little of any one thing. Most importantly, it starts with having a healthy attitude. It is up to us to make the right decisions about our diet.

M:Your readers are interested in your childhood.What was it like?
W:I grew up in a small town.We lived in a very poor housing but we always lived in very beautiful settings,so I had favorite trees and I had contact with birds.My parents were farm workers.Though we were poor for the most part,I think I was often happy.
M:It would not have been expected that you’ll become a literary figure.Was your mother ambitious with you?
W:Well,my mother wasn’t especially ambitious with me in the sense of going to college when I grew up.I think her greatest contribution was simply that she loved me very much.No matter what happened,I had my mother with me.
M:She gave you confidence.
W:Oh,she did.She earned very little money.And in spite of that,she managed to buy a typewriter for me.She just wanted me to be able to do things that she couldn’t do even if she didn’t know what they were.

M:The weather forecast says tomorrow will still be smoggy.We haven’t seen the sun for nearly one week.
W:Yes.The smog has been so heavy every day recently.
M:Yesterday’s weather forecast said the pollution in our city was very serious.
W:Many people have to wear a mask every day now.I plan to wear one tomorrow.
M:Me too.I’ve decided to take a bus to work instead of driving.I hope it will help.
W:I think that’s a good way to cut down on vehicle emissions.I can ride my bike to work since my office is not far from my home.
M:Oh,that’s good! I hope the government will do something to stop air pollution.
W:Yes,though I think it’s not only the government’s job.We citizens should also try to do what we can to protect our environment.
M:Yes,you’re right.Well,I hope we can have a few sunny days soon.
W:I hope so,too.

Hello,everybody! This is the first day of class,so we are going to give some introductions.First of all,my name is Colin Weaver.You can call me Professor Weaver.This is my helper Liz,who will grade your papers.Now,let’s preview what this class is about.It’s about science in ancient Greece and Rome.I know you think that science is something created in modern times,but people have been studying things like that for a very long time.Much of what we know now is based on what the ancient Greeks and Romans found out.This includes electricity and even some knowledge about stars.One ancient Greek calculated the size of the earth very correctly.And yes,many Greeks believed the earth was round.A huge amount of the math we use today was worked out by people like Archimedes—a smart man.You will learn more about ancient Greece and Rome in this class.All right...any questions,please? OK.That boy over there...
