Finally, after nearly half a month, the Christmas letter was here in my hand. Yes,
writing letters is how my friend in the U. S. and I __36__ our greetings every
Christmas. People ask why not send our greetings on Facebook, or on WeChat
__37__, and by the way, it'll save money. For me, writing letters is more of a
__38__ habit than a quirk (怪癖) in modern times. I, an experienced letter writer, can
tell you that writing letters brings me more emotional (情感的) communication.
In fact, only parts of our emotions can be found. Some __39__ in California
State University found that electronic devices, like smart phones, can greatly
influence people in many ways. Such devices prevent people from __40__ their
inner (内心的) feelings. Compared with modern communication, writing letters has
more advantages. __41__ we write, our brain is given the chance to discover
connections between things we didn't see before. And we are __42__ to show our
emotions fully.
If I am here to tell you why I love writing letters, one of the __43__ would be its
sense of touch—feeling of my hand running through the pages, feeling of pen sliding
across the paper, and feeling of the __44__ of ink(墨水) in the air.

feelings. Letters build a bridge between the writer and the receiver. People experience
more when they receive messages in the form of a letter, rather than of any other
media.

八、阅读理解。(共 10 小题, 每小题 2 分, 共 20 分)
A
Inventions usually make a big difference to people's lives. Do you have any
great inventions at home? Do they help you a lot in your life or bring you much fun?
Here are some of the most useful inventions in families according to a survey.
The most helpful and creative invention for kids is the reading pen. With the
speciallydesigned pen, kids find it convenient and fun to learn. Little kids can learn a
lot including storytelling, poems and music. They start learning by touching the
contents in the books with the pen. This way kids can learn by themselves. They are
also great helpers for primary school students after school.
Mopping robots(扫地机器人)are popular with people who are too busy to do
housework. They are more popular with office ladies. They can help people clean dirt,
dust and hair easily. With the help of them, people don't need to spend much time on
housework. They can enjoy a more relaxing life after work.
As for old people, an electric foot basin(电动洗脚盆) is the best invention. It's a
good choice to buy one for your grandparents. It can help keep their blood pressure
normal and improve blood circulation(循环). The special basin can keep the water
warm. So washing feet with it will help old people become healthier and more
relaxed.
46. It is ____ for kids to learn with the reading pen.
A. boring
4
B. convenient
C. difficult
D. fun
47. Mopping robots are more popular with ____.
A. kids
B. office ladies
C. old people
D. young men
48. Old people can keep their blood pressure normal by ____.

B
The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds
crazy, but it's true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to
discover the truth.
★Wrong idea No. 1:An invention has to be something completely new.
Inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from
something that already exists(存在). The Wright Brothers, for example, got the idea
for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
★Wrong idea No. 2:Inventors are born, not made.
There are a lot of factors(因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for an
example. He was born with a talent for musical composition. But other factors were
also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practiced
for hours every day, from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that
being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”!
Very successful creators don't give up when they get something wrong. As one
inventor said, “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question. ”
5
★Wrong idea No. 3:Inventors are always old people.
Don't believe that you can't invent something when you are young. Here are two
examples of young inventors: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he
was fifteen, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still
used in most countries today.
As a young man, George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show.
He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This
gave him an idea, and he invented the trampoline.
49. ____ got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
A. Mozart
B. George Nissen
C. Louis Braille
D. The Wright Brothers
50. The underlined word “talent” means “____” in Chinese.
A. 态度
B. 品质
C. 天赋
D. 能量
51. Which of the following is the writer's opinion?
A. Anybody can do inventing.
B. Inventors are born, not made.
C. Inventors are always old people.
D. An invention has to be something completely new.
C
Dear Rita,
How are you? Last time you asked me about the greatest invention in my eyes. I
have also discussed it with my best friends, Anna, Sue and Kris. We have different
ideas. Anna thinks it is the highspeed railway; Sue, the shared bike; Kris, the online
shopping; and I prefer the Internet.
The Internet is just like a net, and it connects us with the world. In the past, it was
6
nearly impossible for people to communicate immediately with people in other
countries. They had to spend a long time to reach their destinations (目的地), and not
everyone could do that. But the Internet has made the impossible possible. Now we
can communicate with foreigners online.
The Internet also helps us know what is happening around the world, and has
made our life and work easier. In recent years, shopping online is very popular. We
can just stay at home and buy what we need online. We can also do online office work
and distance education. Besides, we can watch movies, listen to music and even play
games to relax ourselves on the Internet.
So, I think that the Internet is one of the greatest inventions. It has changed our
world! Although there are still many problems with the Internet, they will be solved in
the near future. As a student we should make good use of the Internet!
Yours,
Martin

九、任务型阅读。(共 5 小题, 每小题 2 分, 共 10 分)
As we all know, the “rice bowl” culture of China has influenced some Asian
countries such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam since we started to use chopsticks while
eating food.
Chopsticks are usually two long thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be
made of plastic, animal bone or metal. (1) The most important thing is that chopsticks
are a great invention in China.
Five thousand years ago people usually cooked their food in large pots, using
twigs(小树枝)to remove it. (2) the population grew, people began cutting food into
small pieces. (3)Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs by people. And
twigs were gradually changed into chopsticks.
Some people think that the famous scholar Confucius living from about 551 BC
to 479 BC pushed the development of chopsticks. Confucius believed that using
chopsticks instead of knives would remind people to stay away from killing and
violence at table.
We enjoy our delicious food with our family members or friends while feeling
the peaceful and peopleloving world by using chopsticks at table anytime.
