2.机器人的坏处;
3.你的观点。
　　注意:

One possible version:
Robots have entered ordinary people’s life widely since the past century.People have different attitudes towards robots.
Some people are in favour of the application of robots.Robots are beneficial due to their high working efficiency.They are able to work faster and more efficiently,which increases productivity.Not only are the robots productive,but also they can help the recovery of patients.If a person’s leg gets injured,the devices equipped on his leg could help him walk even faster than before.
However,some people are against the application of robots.They argue that using robots massively could lead to fewer job opportunities.In some cases,robots will replace people’s position.In some factories,many employees get dismissed.Wide application of robots might make some workers lose their jobs.Unemployment will cause instability of the society.
Personally,the advantages of robots outweigh the disadvantages.We should make use of robots properly.

Ⅰ.阅读
Researchers have created glass by harvesting energy from wind and precipitation(降水).The approach offers an alternative to other smart windows powered by batteries,solar panels,and even standard power outlets.“The creation represents a new kind of renewable energy source,”says Liming Dai,a nanomaterial engineer at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland,Ohio,who was not involved in the research.
Smart glass,which changes its characteristics to block out light or heat,has been around for decades.Common examples include glare-fighting rearview(后视) car mirrors and windows that change colour for energy savings and privacy.But many are expensive,and people are still looking for eco-friendly ways to power the windows.Batteries and plug-in outlets aren’t apparently “green”,and built-in solar panels can cloud or hide parts of the glass.
In experiments,the glass produced up to 130 milliwatts per square metre,enough to power a pacemaker or a smart phone while it’s asleep,the team reported online last month in ACS Nano.This output might suit many applications,such as being a power source for home or office electronics,says co-developer and scientist Zhong Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.Since their first project in 2012,a light-up sidewalk powered by footsteps,he and his colleagues have miniaturized their generators to create everything from self-cleaning keyboards to sensors for security systems.
But Wang and his colleagues still have more work to do before this smart glass is ready for commercialisation.Now,the glass has no way to store the energy it creates.To solve this problem,Dai says,transparent supercapacitors(超级电容器) could be placed into the glass without decreasing visibility.
For now,the team wants to improve the energy efficiency of their nanogenerators.These tiny power plants can convert about 60% of the mechanical energy(机械能) that they encounter into electricity.“The output power is a constant goal,”Wang says.“Free energy is around us,and anything can happen if you take control of it.”
1.What is unique about the latest generation of the smart glass?
A.It is more expensive.
B.It is powered by weather.
C.It can protect privacy.
D.It can block out light and heat.
2.What is the drawback of the smart glass?
A.It cannot power a smart phone.
B.It cannot suit the supercapacitors.
C.It cannot keep its produced electricity.
D.It cannot change its colour according to weather.
3.Which of the following best explains “convert” underlined in the last paragraph?
A.Transform. B.Waste.
C.Consume. D.Reserve.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种能供电的智能玻璃。该玻璃可以利用风力和降水产生电能,是一种绿色环保的能源产品,但该产品仍面临诸多问题,如电能储存问题。阅读本文有利于增强学生科学探究的能力,并增进对科学探究的理解。
答案及剖析:
1.B　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据文章第一段第一句可知,这种智能玻璃的特别之处是可以利用风力和降水(即天气)获取能量。故选B。
2.C　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据文章第四段中的“Now,the glass has no way to store the energy it creates.”可知,目前该产品的缺陷是无法储存其产生的能量。故选C。
3.A　词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词汇意义的能力。根据文章最后一段画线词前一句“For now,the team wants to improve the energy efficiency of their nanogenerators.”可知,这些微型发电机可以将智能玻璃收集到的 60% 的机械能转化为电能。所以convert为“转化”之意。故选A。
Ⅱ.完形填空

语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者60多岁决定为自己和丈夫创造一种新的生活,把自己的房子进行改造。在房屋的施工过程中,他们住在施工现场,看着自己的梦想成真,而新房子也给作者和朋友带来了新的回忆。因此作者呼吁那些愿意倾听并且怀有期望的人,不要再等待,而是立即采取行动。阅读本文有利于培养学生遇事果断、积极进取的品质。
[文章脉络]

答案及剖析:
1.B　结合后文“empty nesters in their sixties weren’t supposed to need a(n) 　2　 house”,并结合上文提到作者他们决定改造房子,这是因为60多岁的空巢老人显然不需要太多的房间。 
2.D　根据上文“My decision to turn our old two-story home...met with some objections.”可知,作者要把两层的老房子改造成只有三个房间的房子,是因为不需要更大的房子。
3.C　根据后文“of what our life would be like as his illness 　4　”可知,此处指医生在描述作者他们未来生活的画面。lay out the picture of意为“描绘……的画面”。 
4.A　根据前文“as his illness”和后文“I saw our future die”可知,随着丈夫的病情发展,他们将没有未来。
5.D　根据后文“living in our home the way it had been”可知,作者意指不能继续像以前那样住在家里。continue符合语境。
6.C　根据后文“a new life for us by myself”,结合后文作者改造房子,可知作者想自己创造一种新生活。
7.A　根据后文“for the work to begin”可知,希望创造新生活的作者渴望开始改造工作。短语be eager for...意为“渴望……”。
8.B　根据前文“I was blessed with a talented and skilled contractor (承包商)”和后文“the difficult building”可知,此处指承包商接手了改造作者的旧房子这份工作。
9.D　第一段中“My decision to turn our old two-story home...met with some objections.”提到作者要改造房子,所以此处指房屋的建造工作花费了八个月。
10.A　结合上文“We lived on site throughout the whole process”可知,作者住在施工现场是为了看着自己的梦想成真。
11.B　根据前文“My new home”和后文“where not only for me but for my family and friends”可知,作者的新家成了一座宫殿。become符合语境。
12.C　根据前文“not only for me but for my family and friends”可知,新家建造完成后,在这里作者和朋友们每周都有了新的回忆。memories符合语境。
13.A　结合上文内容可知,作者一心希望改造自己的房子,觉得房子建好后自己的梦想也成真了,可见作者从中意识到对某个年龄段的孤独女性来说,期望是仍然存在的。
14.D　根据后文“from the top of my new”可知,作者是想站在屋顶上大喊,告诉那些愿意倾听的人不要等待,而是立即采取行动。shout最符合语境。
15.B　呼应上文“My new home has now 　11　 a palace”可知,这里指作者的新房子的屋顶。

　　Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages.Its extreme use can be compared to the use of Plug-in.
The next time you’re in a crowded public place,look at the people around you.
It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen,fingers moving at lightning speeds,texting their friends,e-mailing coworkers or listening to music.It may seem ridiculous that someone is that addicted to such a small object.I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end if their phone or iPad has been taken away,lost or left at home.
Some people may ask,“What’s wrong with technology use?It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true,the overuse of technology isn’t always appropriate in certain settings.Schools are becoming stricter about the use of cell phones,iPods and other electronics in classrooms.Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Cell phone use is not permitted” or “Cell phones are forbidden”.On the first warning you will be sent home,and on the second warning you will be fired.
Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other,but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits.People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others.However,it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format.Books,originally meant for paper design,are now being transferred to electronic forms.Photo albums,and even yearbooks,can now be viewed via the Internet.With this growing trend,future generations are bound to become even more addicted to technology.
Is there a cure for electronic addiction?Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent,but it will not completely rid electronic addiction.There only seems to be one cure left,and it may be the hardest:self control.
24.What is Plug-in?
A.The growing popularity of electronics.
B.The serious consequences of technology use.
C.The future possibility of technology development.
D.The unreasonable dependence on electronics.
25.The second paragraph is intended to 　　　. 
A.show people’s addiction to electronics
B.persuade people to quit electronics
C.prove electronics are harmful to people
D.tell people it is ridiculous to use electronics
26.Why is it difficult to avoid electronics nowadays?
A.Because people have no interest in traditional paper designs.
B.Because more information tends to be available in electronic forms.
C.Because it is the only way people stay in touch with each other.
D.Because people have fewer chances to communicate in person.
27.The writer’s attitude to the overuse of technology can be best described as 　　　.
A.approving B.indifferent
C.critical D.doubtful
语篇导读:本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了当今人们过度使用科技产品的问题,并简单论述了如何解决这个问题。阅读本文有利于培养学生科学探究的能力并增进其对科学探究的理解。
答案及剖析:
24.D　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。第一段提到,不同年龄段的人都对使用科技产品上瘾,这样的极端使用简直可以和Plug-in相比,下文接着通过公共场所的例子说明人们对电子产品的过度使用和依赖,由此可知,Plug-in就是不理性地依赖电子产品。故选D。
25.A　推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。通读第二段,结合本段中“It may seem ridiculous that someone is that addicted to such a small object.”可知,第二段通过例子旨在说明人们对电子产品上瘾。故选A。
26.B　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第四段中“However,
it’s hard to...an electronic format.”可知,当今人们很难避免使用科技产品,因为更多的信息倾向于以电子形式提供。故选B。
27.C　推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。由第三段中“While this is true,the overuse of technology isn’t always appropriate in certain settings.”及第四段中的第一句可以看出,作者对过度使用科技产品持批评态度。故选C。
C
　　A few years ago,my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter.What was she doing after school?Where was she spending her time?My niece was an excellent student,and took part in all kinds of after-class activities.Even so,her mom decided to put a tracking app (跟踪应用程序) on the kid’s phone.
At first,this made my sister-in-law “feel better”.Then the good situation suddenly ended.She recalled,“I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn’t.I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends.” Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that.
With 73% of teens having their own smart phones now,according to a 2015 Pew study,more and more of their parents are facing the question:To watch or not?
Ana Homayoun,founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting,has advised many parents and their kids about this.“I’ve found teens are more acceptable to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,” she said.
Mark Bell,a father of a teenage girl,said,“We don’t have tracking apps,but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smart phone.” For example,his daughter must “friend” him on social media so that he can read posts,and must share all passwords.
When you’re trying to build trust,you need to create an environment that encourages it.So,to win their trust,you always need to be straight with your children.“Parents must let children know how and when they’ll be watching them,” said Doctor Pauleh Weigle.If they’re not open about it,he warns,it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship”.
28.Why did the author’s sister-in-law use the app?
A.Because she was interested in new apps.
B.Because she was worried about her daughter.
C.Because she wanted to know about after-class activities.
D.Because she wanted to teach her daughter about the app.
29.What is probably the majority children’s attitude towards tracking apps in their phones?
A.They doubt family agreements.
B.They dislike being watched secretly.
C.They are worried about online safety.
D.They welcome the use of tracking apps.
30.Why is Ana Homayoun mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To show how to use smart phone safely.
B.To teach how to put tracking apps on phones.
C.To give some suggestions on how to make children accept it.
D.To tell the importance of being children’s friends instead of tracking.
31.What should be done before using a tracking app according to Weigle?
A.Check the kid’s phone.
B.Teach the kid how to use it.
C.Advise the kid to use his phone less.
D.Discuss with the kids and have an agreement with them.
语篇导读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讨论要不要在孩子手机上安装跟踪应用程序,以及如何使孩子接受跟踪应用程序。阅读本文有利于培养学生的辩证批判意识,增进他们对科学探究的兴趣并提高学生科学探究的能力。
答案及剖析:
28.B　细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。由第一段可知,作者的嫂子开始对她十几岁的女儿感到担忧。她放学后在干什么?她在哪里度过她的时间?作者的侄女是一个优秀的学生,参加了各种课外活动。即使如此,她妈妈还是决定在孩子的手机上安装一个追踪应用程序,可知作者的嫂子使用了这个应用程序是因为她担心她的女儿。故选B。
29.B　推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第四段中的最后一句“我已经发现当跟踪应用程序作为家庭协议的一部分,为了提高安全性,而不是作为监视他们的工具时,青少年更容易接受跟踪应用程序。”可知,青少年对手机上的跟踪应用程序的态度是:如果不是为了监视他们,那么他们更容易接受。说明他们不喜欢被秘密监视。故选B。
30.C　推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第四段可知,Ana Homayoun是常春藤教育咨询的创始人。她说:我已经发现当跟踪应用程序作为家庭协议的一部分,为了提高安全性,而不是作为监视他们的工具时,青少年更易接受跟踪应用程序。由此可知,Ana Homayoun发现如果不是为了监视青少年,那么他们更易接受跟踪应用程序。所以第四段提到Ana Homayoun的目的是对如何使孩子们接受跟踪应用程序这一问题给出建议。故选C。
31.D　推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据最后一段中的最后两句可知,父母必须让孩子知道他们如何、在什么时候会监视他们。Weigle警告说,如果他们不打开心扉,那会极大地损害父母与孩子之间的感情。由此可知,Weigle建议:在安装跟踪应用程序之前应该与孩子商量,对孩子坦诚,与孩子达成一致。故选D。
D
　　As an oceanographer (海洋学家),I’ve spent many years developing robots to explore the ocean,and now we’re putting that technology to use in our JASON Project,a program that’s designed to inspire students and get them interested in science,
technology,engineering and mathematics.In theatres throughout the country,we bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of large areas of the globe.Not only are the kids observers,but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them.The kids have the sensation (感受) of really being at the site with us.
I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel.In the next 10 or 15 years, people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate (模拟) other environment.I like to call these rooms “home domes” — small theatres with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights,sounds,smells,and feel of a desert,or a forest.Hand in hand with these rooms,I can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world.You could rent (租) a robot working in a rain forest,then go into your home dome,where you yourself operate the robot’s movements.The equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robot’s environment and simulate them for you.
Today,much of the world’s population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home.And even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earth’s sights.But this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to see a lot more of the globe.And simulated travel will also help protect our planet.You can’t take large groups of tourists to look at Dian
Fossey’s gorillas (大猩猩).But a small robot,with no animal smell,can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights,sounds,and smells back to a million people.
32.The main purpose of the JASON Project is to　　　. 
A.design robots
B.educate children
C.explore the world
D.improve technology
33.Without going outside,people in “home domes” can　　　. 
A.enjoy a guided trip
B.get very close to nature
C.develop and operate robots
D.send images back to scientists
34.What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of robot technology?
A.Uncaring. B.Doubtful.
C.Hopeful. D.Dissatisfied.
35.According to the text,simulated travel 　　　. 
A.has been widely accepted
B.costs lots of time and money
C.is harmful to the environment
D.is time- and money-saving
语篇导读:本文属于说明文,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了一个旨在教育孩子们的JASON项目,在未来人们可以通过机器人去感受自然。阅读本文有利于培养学生的创新精神,拓宽学生视野。
答案及剖析:
32.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的最后三句可知,JASON项目的主要目的是启发孩子们,让他们对科学、技术、工程和数学感兴趣,由此推知它的主要目的是为了教育孩子。故选B。
33.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中“I like to call these rooms ‘home domes’—small theatres...feel of a desert,or a forest.”可知,人们在“home domes”中可以重现自然的景象、声音、气味,可以感受、亲近自然。故选B。
34.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的最后两句可知,你不能带大批游客去看迪福西的大猩猩,但是一个没有动物气味的小机器人可以非常接近大猩猩,把风景、声音和气味带给百万人。因此推断作者对未来机器人技术的态度是有希望的。故选C。
35.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But this new way of travel...travel will also help protect our planet.”可知,模拟旅行可以为我们节省时间和金钱。故选D。

答案及剖析:
56.removing　考查动名词。介词for后用动名词作宾语,故填removing。
57.problems　考查名词复数。several意为“几个”,其后应用可数名词复数,故填problems。
58.a　考查冠词。barrier在文中首次出现,所以是泛指,且是可数名词,故填a。
59.as　考查固定搭配和介词。the same as意为“和……相同”,为固定搭配,故填as。
60.has been added　考查时态和语态。根据Since then可知,句子用现在完成时,动词add和主语parachute(降落伞)构成被动关系,故填has been added。
61.known　考查过去分词。know与逻辑主语area构成被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语,故填known。
62.harms　考查谓语动词单复数。动词harm意为“对……有害”,与主语pollution构成主动关系,根据gets可知,时态为一般现在时,且主语为单数,所以谓语动词用单数,故填harms。
63.It　考查it作形式主语。that引导的从句是整个句子的主语,所以用it作形式主语,故填it。
64.which　考查非限制性定语从句。在非限制性定语从句中,代指前面句子的内容,用which,故填which。
65.actually　考查副词。修饰形容词easy应用副词,故填actually。

第二节(满分25分)
　　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。
　　I was in my room,unwilling to head to the community theatre with “my brother” Henry.He was just adopted by my parents recently.I was not in the mood for being onstage with him.
“Kirstie,come here,” my mom called.Following her voice,I found her outside the bathroom,holding a wet book.She gave the book a shake.“Henry’s book was in the bathtub.Did you put it there?” She glared at me,something she never did before Henry came to our home.I didn’t wet his book on purpose.Tears of hurt clouded my eyes.Worse still,she promised to buy him a new copy.My heart ached.Henry was stealing my mother’s love.He was ruining my life.
Meanwhile,Henry was just nearby,absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结) as usual.Why did a boy like him do the girly work?Far from manly!
Soon,it was time to have to set off to the community theatre.As Henry walked ahead of us to the car,my mom took me aside and said in a low voice,“It’s the first time for Henry to be onstage.Be kind to him,Honey.”I nodded but sighed.Being kind didn’t use to be hard.But after Henry moved in,everything felt different.The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me.With Henry involved,it didn’t seem so special any more.
Finally,it was our stage time.My heart beat wildly.I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while.As we kids lined up,ready to act out our short play,I realised how loosely I had tied the drawstring(束带) on my skirt.Sure enough,my skirt began to drop.
Laughter from the audience could be heard,and even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt,I could feel my face burst into flames.However,my hands were full.If only someone could help me out!
注意:
续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Right then,Henry sensed my embarrassment. 








Paragraph 2:
After the performance,I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. 








1.阅读文章,掌握主旨方向。

2.明确写作思路,确定续写内容。

3.汇集故事线索,列出写作要点。

4.优化语言,完善续写逻辑。
Right then,Henry sensed my embarrassment.He immediately came to my aid.He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot.Seeing what Henry did for me,something deep in my mind began to change.It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt.I regretted having treated him as a stranger.While my mind was wandering,our performance time came.It turned out a great success,thunderous applause filling the whole theatre.
After the performance,I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully.“Thanks,” I said with a grateful smile on my face.I had to admit that but for his timely help,I would have been extremely embarrassed.Without his knotting skill,the performance would have been quite different.“KNOT a problem.You are my sister,” he grinned innocently,saying humorously.Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere,I felt a flood of warmth of a big family.Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all.
