But do you know about Father’s Day?Father’s Day comes on the third Sunday in June every year. Father’s Day is celebrated in much the same way as Mother’s Day. Father’s Day was set up by Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd in the United States. Her mother died when she was ten years old. She had five younger brothers in her family. Their father raised them all alone. Father every day from morning to night, took good care of the six children, but he himself always lived a simple life.Mrs. Sonora felt her father’s love, kindness and greatness. When she was older, she felt that she should do something for her father and other fathers to thank their hard work. She thought that fathers should have a special festival from the whole society just like Mother’s Day. So she wrote a letter to the government in Washington, D．C, suggesting (建议) that there should be a Father’s Day. The state government accepted her suggestion and decided to set the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. In 1972, President Richard Nixon signed (签署) a resolution making Father’s Day a national holiday.The Father’s Day is set in June, because the sun is the warmest in June. And June also has the longest time of sunshine.38．Father’s Day is ________.A．on the 2nd Sunday in May B．on the 2nd Sunday in JuneC．on the 3rd Sunday in May D．on the 3rd Sunday in June39．How many people were there in Mrs. Sonora’s family after her mother died?A．Five. B．Six. C．Seven. D．Eight.40．What did Mrs. Sonora do to suggest there should be a Father’s Day?A．She had a big party for her father with her brothers.B．She wrote a letter to the government in Washington, D．C．C．She gave lots of her money to help to set up Father’s Day.D．She signed a resolution making Father’s Day a national holiday. Teenagers should be allowed to develop a hobby. A hobby can give you different types of challenges. You’ll need to find different interests and decide which hobby really interests you. You can take up a hobby that can challenge you physically, such as rock climbing or kayaking. While this may be hard to do, here are four great reasons to work it in: Hobbies help build a teen’s confidence. By finding an area of interest, a teen can build his skills. This leads to positive results and builds teenagers’ confidence. A hobby helps teens have a sense of their identity (身份). Our likes and dislikes help us know who we are as people. Hobbies help by sending a signal, “I like doing this. This makes me feel good. Therefore, this is a part of who I am.” Hobbies keep teens from getting bored. Bored teens look for things to do and are more likely to do something bad. Helping teens develop a hobby is helping them stay out of trouble. Hobbies will help teens to get on well with their parents. When a teen is busy with a hobby, his parents have easy access (机会) to something to praise him about. They can communicate with each other easily.41．According to the passage, hobbies can make teens __________.A．be sure something they want will happen in the future B．know they are different from their parentsC．feel a little bad about themselves D．lose themselves42．If Jim has a hobby, he will __________ in his free time.A．be bored B．be in trouble C．feel happy D．be busy43．Hobbies will help teens to get on well with their parents because __________.A．teens are busy and have no time to fight with parentsB．parents never praise them about their hobbiesC．parents have an interesting topic to talk about with childrenD．they don’t have to communicate44．The passage is mainly about __________.A．why it’s not easy to find a hobby B．how to develop a hobbyC．why teens need a hobby D．when to take up a hobby for teensWhen was the last time you gave or received a hug? Do your parents hug you before you go to school? In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug. You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug him to cheer him up. Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting. Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, I’ve noticed that people are generally more reluctant to hug than they are in my home country, the US. My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people usually don’t hug in public, either. But people’s attitudes toward hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other. The Chinese participants clearly looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They thought hugging doesn’t have to be awkward and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mom or dad, give them a hug—see how it makes you feel.45．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A．How to cheer your friends up. B．How to celebrate a basketball match.C．The reason why friends need to hug each other. D．Situations in which you can hug somebody else.46．Who usually hug each other in Chinese culture?A．Friends. B．Relatives. C．Couples. D．Teammates.47．What does the underlined word “intimate” mean?A．Hate. B．Friendly. C．Outgoing. D．Close.48．What was the last paragraph written for?A．To encourage people to be nice to strangers.B．To encourage people to hold more hugging parties.C．To explain why people feel uncomfortable while hugging.D．To show that people can change their minds about hugging.In some science fiction movies, evil （邪恶）robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating(挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.Until now, even the most advanced(先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged(毁坏). That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors(发动机) and two sensors(传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial(假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”49．What does the new technology allow the robot to do?A．Do homework for human. B．Tell people when it is.C．They have no computers inside. D．keep working after being damaged50．How do the sensors in the robot work?A．They can replace the computer when it’s broken.B．They can find out where the damage comes from.C．They help the computer learn the robot’s condition.D．They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.51．What does the underline word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to?A．sensors B．robots C．arms and legs D．Scientists52．What would be best title for the passage?A．The new technology. B．The Robot in the future.C．The computer in the future. D．Science Fiction Movies.五、阅读还原7选5阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从文后的七个选项中，选出五个还原到文中。___53___ No matter where we are, on the light train, in a coffee shop, even in the street, we always find people using WeChat around us.___54___ First of all, it is easy to use.

Among them, I like running best. Running is an easy and interesting sport, which can be done at any time and place as you like. What’s more, we don’t need to prepare any tools for running. We can become healthier and stronger as long as we keep running. And we can relax ourselves from much pressure by running. As for me, I run at least 30 minutes in the school playground every day, because my home is next to the school. Sometimes I run slowly, but sometimes I run fast. Running gives me a lot of fun. I think playing football is also good. If I have a chance, I’d like to try playing football. I hope I can keep the habit of running and keep healthy.
