Come on, Amy. You must TRY HARDER. Amy told herself silently. She was in her class’ Second-Day-of-School Game with her teammates, whom she only met yesterday. This was her first chance to make new friends, and she was nervous.
So far Amy hadn’t given any useful suggestions—after all, she was totally new to this town. Luckily, no one seemed to care about it. This relaxed her a lot.
Since the Blue Team left the park, they had worked out the first two clues (线索) and had been to the post office. Now they were in front of the cinema.
Henry was reading aloud the third clue: Go to our town founder’s last resting place.
I know THIS ONE! Amy thought, excited.
“To the cemetery (墓地)” Cindy said.
“No, wait!” Amy said. “I’ve read about it. The founder was buried near the library.”
“Wow. I’ve walked by every day,” Tyler said. “Never knew that!”
“Good job! That will save valuable time, ” Cindy smiled at Amy.
“We still need to hurry,” Tyler reminded, pointing to the Yellow Team coming near.
“I know a shortcut!” Henry suggested. “Follow me!” No one moved.
“No, seriously,” Henry said. “You know I’m always running late. I know every shortcut in town.” The others finally agreed.
A few sharp turns, and they were there! This time Amy read the clue aloud: Now go to the place where the football is running around!
“The football stadium!” They called out together and started to run…
Now they’d got the final clue: Look where you’ve been, see where you are. Use your map wisely and you’ll be a star!
Looking closely at the map, everyone thought hard.
“Aha! A star!” Cindy suddenly broke the silence. She quickly took out a pencil.
As they watched her drawing lines on the map, everyone understood.
They began running back to where they started. They were closer and closer, and finally crossed the finish line-just one step behind the Red Team!
“So…close…” Tyler made a face, and they all laughed together.
“Nice job, new girl,” Cindy gave Amy a high-five.
“That was really fun,” said Henry. “I hope we’ll be on the same team soon.”
“Me, too,” Amy agreed, smiling.

Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind?
For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face.
Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate.
To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer!
33．Why do scientists think a robot needs a face?
A．It will become more beautiful. B．It can do better in lifting things.
C．It will pay more attention to children. D．It can better communicate with people.
34．What does the underlined word “creepy” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Uncomfortable to look at. B．Impossible to touch.
C．Boring to talk to. D．Difficult to understand.
35．Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with?
A．People should treat robots as humans.
B．Robots need to express their own feelings.
C．Robots shouldn't look too much like humans.
D．People can easily accept robots with a human face.
36．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To explain the reasons why robots should have faces.
B．To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces.
C．To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have.
D．To show how scientists invent robots with different faces.

People believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how dictionaries were made in the past?
Dictionary writers first read the important books of the period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected. For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task could last for years. As the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order (A—Z). When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word.
Then, to define (定义) a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him.
So, the writing of a dictionary was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian, not a law maker.
As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing our words in speaking or writing, we can be guided by the dictionary. However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings, are always pushing us to give new uses to old words.
37．Why did dictionary writers read important books?
A．To know more about the period. B．To collect words and their uses.
C．To understand different subjects. D．To learn to use interesting words.
38．Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past?
            
A．①-③-④-② B．①-②-④-③ C．③-④-②-① D．③-①-④-②
39．What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past?
A．It should be done by historians. B．It was a task of inventing and recording.
C．It was long-time hard work. D．It had to use the law-making rules.
40．What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication?
A．Be open to the new uses of words. B．Follow the dictionary strictly.
C．Use online dictionaries instead. D．Try to create new words.


四、阅读还原5选5
Years ago, green was simply a color. Now it’s much more! In the 1970s, some people began to worry about what we did to mother Earth. 41 It is a big idea that touches governments all over the world, and a small idea that touches us all in our homes.
Architects (建筑师) and building engineers are thinking about how to make buildings greener. These days, green architecture is becoming more and more popular. 42
We need to be very careful about the materials (材料) we use. It is better to choose renewable materials-those that the Earth replaces quickly. 43 Also, for those materials that are not renewable, we need to use them as little as possible. Our mother Earth has offered us many other possibilities, such as wind and solar power.
Planners must think about the needs of those who will spend time in green buildings. In many cases, green energy is more comfortable for people. 44 Natural lighting is often kinder to the eyes than electric lighting. In fact, many people who live or work in green buildings report feeling happier and healthier.
45 For example, they might try to use as little land as possible. If a building covers a large area, there will be less space for plants and trees. They also have to think about cutting down waste and pollution while the building work is going on.
Although green buildings are more expensive to build, they are less expensive to run.
A．Or we can reuse some materials.
B．As a result, green thinking was born.
C．To understand it, we have to look at three different areas.
D．For example, natural wind brings people cleaner and fresher air.
E．Architects must consider what the building will do to the environment.

He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word.”、“Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him.”可知，过去制作字典首先把有趣的单词，日常使用和不寻常使用的常见单词，以及使用它们的句子记在卡片上；然后收集卡片时，按字母顺序（A-Z）排列；其次筛选卡片，根据词典编纂者认为的单词的常用用法将卡片分开；最后是按照硬性规定写下了定义，每个定义都必须来自他面前某张卡片上的一个例子。所以正确的步骤是③-①-④-②。故选D。
39．推理判断题。根据“For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected.”（对于一本真正的大字典来说，收集了数百万张这样的卡片。）可知过去编纂词典是一项长期艰苦的工作。故选C。
40．细节理解题。根据“However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings, are always pushing us to give new uses to old words.”可知作者建议大家在使用词典时不能被它所控制，因为新的情况、新的经历、新的发明和新的感受总是在推动我们对旧词赋予新的用途，也就是接受词汇的新用法。故选A。
41．B 42．C 43．A 44．D 45．E

【导语】本文主要介绍绿色建筑。
41．根据“It is a big idea that touches governments all over the world, and a small idea that touches us all in our homes.”可知此处介绍了一个想法，大到影响全世界的政府，小到影响我们每个人的家，结合下文可知与绿色相关。故选项B“因此，绿色思维诞生了”符合语境，故选B。
42．根据“We need to be very careful about the materials (材料) we use.”及下文可知此处介绍了绿色建筑需要考虑的事情，如使用的材料等。故选项C“为了理解它，我们不得不看到三个区域”符合语境，故选C。
43．根据“It is better to choose renewable materials-those that the Earth replaces quickly. ”可知此处介绍的是可再生的材料，接下来也应是类似的绿色材料。故选项A“或者我们可以重复使用一些材料”符合语境，故选A。
44．根据“In many cases, green energy is more comfortable for people.”可知此处介绍的是绿色能源，故选项D“例如，自然风带给人们更干净和更清新的空气”符合语境，故选D。
45．根据“For example, they might try to use as little land as possible. If a building covers a large area, there will be less space for plants and trees. They also have to think about cutting down waste and pollution while the building work is going on.”可知此处介绍的是绿色建筑对环境方面的考虑，故选项E“建筑师必须考虑建筑对环境的影响”符合语境，故选E。
46．(r)emember 47．(c)ulture/(c)ustoms 48．(c)arefully/(c)ompletely/(c)autiously 49．(l)ast 50．(p)roud

【导语】本文主要介绍了端午节的庆祝活动以及作者村庄每年都会赛龙舟。
46．句意：中国人民在这一天划龙舟、包粽子，纪念伟大的爱国诗人屈原。根据“great patriotic poet (爱国诗人) QuYuan by rowing dragon boats and making zongzi on this day.”可知是指人们通过这些方式纪念屈原，remember“纪念”，是动词，此处是描述事实，应用一般现在时，主语是people，动词用原形，故填(r)emember。
47．句意：我的村庄以其对传统文化/习俗/仪式的保护而闻名，我们有全市最好的龙舟队。根据“My village is famous for its great protection of traditional”和首字母可知，此处可以指传统文化也可以指传统习俗。culture“文化”，此处是不可数名词；custom“习俗”，此处名词用复数。故填(c)ulture/(c)ustoms。
48．句意：然后仔细/彻底/小心地清洗并重新粉刷。根据“Every year, villagers raise our dragon boats from under the river about a month before the festival.”可知每年端午节前一个月左右，村民们就会把龙舟从河底升起，结合首字母可知，然后应该是要仔细/彻底/小心地清洗并重新粉刷。carefully“仔细地”，completely“完全地”，cautiously“小心地”，副词修饰动词。故填(c)arefully/(c)ompletely/(c)autiously。
49．句意：它由一种特殊的木材制成，仍然足够坚固，可以使用很长时间。根据“Made of a special kind of wood”可知龙舟是由一种特殊的木材制成，很坚固，可以持续使用很长时间。last“持续”，动词，空前有不定式符号，动词用原形，故填(l)ast。
50．句意：他才18岁，我为他感到骄傲。根据“This year, my elder brother is accepted into our dragon boat race team as its youngest member”结合首字母可知，此处是固定短语be proud of“为……感到自豪”，故填(p)roud。
51． Have heard
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，hear表示“听说”，结合句意和ever可知本句是现在完成时，主语是you，助动词用have，位于句首构成一般疑问句，首字母大写。故填Have；heard。
52． not only but also
【详解】分析句子可知此处是not only...but also...“不仅……而且……”，连接两个并列部分。故填not；only；but；also。
53．What a wonderful
【详解】根据题干可知此处是一个感叹句。中心词为可数名词project“项目”，符合结构：What+a/an+形容词+主语+谓语。project是以辅音音素开头，应用a；wonderful“极好的”。故填What a wonderful。


54． how I can draw
【详解】分析句子可知空处要表达的是“我怎么样能画画”，是how引导的宾语从句，我I；能can；画画draw。故填how；I；can；draw。
55． will be shown
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，show表示“展出”，是动词，和主语之间是被动关系，结合“I hope one day”可知，句子应用一般将来时的被动语态：will be done。故填will；be；shown。
