No one can believe that the over 6,300kilometer long Great Wall might disappear some
day.Believe it or not,the Great Wall is being destroyed by people.Less than 20 percent of the
Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect,but about 80 percent is in danger.The Great
Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length.But we should realize that the
length was made up of one brick at a time.If we do nothing to save the Great Wall , it will
become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the
past 2 , 000 years.It began in the rule of China's first emperor , Qin Shihuang of the Qin
Dynasty(221 BC-206 BC),and lasted into the Ming Dynasty.The parts built before the Ming
Dynasty have nearly disappeared.People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing
and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years.But
those_sections_far_away_from_the_public_eyes have been almost forgotten.
Few local people knew the 3meterhigh walls made of earth and stones beside them are
part of the Great Wall.The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind
human.The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses,
sheep corral(畜栏)and pigsties(猪圈).Some were taken away to build roads.Bricks carved with
people's names are put away as remembrance.Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛).The
bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load.Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great
Wall know its name,but are not clear about its cultural meaning.It will take a long time to let
them know this.The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire
base.It is necessary to protect the Great Wall.First of all ,the officials should be aware of the
importance of the Great Wall.Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great
civilization(文明)and learn to love it.
【语篇解读】 长城以它那令人惊叹的长度而被世人称为伟大,但是由于人们缺乏对
长城文化的了解,导致长城正在被破坏。
4.The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called“great”is________.
A.it is made by brick B.it is very wide
C.it is very long D.it has a long history
C [细节理解题。根据第一段“The Great Wall can be called ‘great’ mostly because of
its amazing length.”可知长城以它的令人惊叹的长度而被称为伟大。]

A.It is useless from now on.
B.It will be replaced by a new one.
C.Some parts of it are being destroyed.
D.It's too old to be used again.
C [细节理解题。文章中介绍,不管是不了解长城的人还是了解它的人都在对长城进
行无意识的破坏。]

the Great Wall________.
A.that are too difficult to understand
B.nobody can watch
C.that are too far to be seen

CBrad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.Expecting a whole day to
relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his
first day off in months.“This will be like a walk in the park ,” he'd told his wife. “I'll look
after the kids,and you can go to visit your mom.”
Things started well,but just after eight o'clock,his three little “good kids”-Mike,Randy,
and Alex-came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast,daddy.” When
food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it
were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍).Mike chanted “Where's my
toast,where's my toast” in the background.Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for
a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head.Randy locked
himself in the bathroom , while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his
pants.Nobody could find clean socks,although they were before their very eyes.Someone named
“ Not Me ” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad
knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o'clock , things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar
refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall
with his color pencils.Randy,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in the family room,but
closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his
hands.Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17,Brad called the daycare centre(日托所).“I suddenly have to go into
work and my wife's away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes ? ” The answer was
obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了三个孩子和一个爸爸过周末的情景。本以为周末会很轻松
惬意,结果三个孩子却把他的计划彻底打乱了。只好求助日托所。
8.When his wife left home,Brad expected to________.

day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show
on his first day off in months.”可以看出,妻子离家后,Brad 期待着在第一个休假日里放松
一下自己,故选 A。]
9.Which of the following did Randy do?
A.Drawing on the wall. B.Eating apple jam.
C.Feeding the fish. D.Reading in a room.
B [细节理解题。根据第四段的 “Randy,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in
the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the
bottle with his hands.”可知,Randy 在吃苹果酱。故选 B。]10.Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?
A.Because he wanted to clean up his house.
B.Because he suddenly had to go to his office.
C.Because he had to take his wife back home.
D.Because he found it hard to manage his boys.
D [推理判断题。文中诸多关键字眼如“Life became worse”与“things were out of
control”都表明是因为管理不了孩子们,Brad 才把他们送去日托所的,故选 D。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
All languages change over time,but some change at a faster rate than others.__11__ The
most important factors are the number of people who speak a language,where they live and
whether they move around,the importance of the language for world trade and communication,
and changes in technology.
__12__ However,today English is the most widely used language in the world.English is
spoken by about 350 million people as a first language in countries such as Great Britain,the
United States.In addition,about a billion more people speak English as a second language.
English started to take over French as an international language during the period of British
colonialism (殖民主义)when the English ruled many countries in Africa and Asia.__13__ The
colonial period came to an end at the same time that several other changes occurred.For example,
the U.S.started to play a greater part in global affairs and the international economy.New means
of communication technology such as television and the Internet spread English
worldwide.__14__ In addition,they could use the Internet for information,business,or email
communication,all in English.Just as the use of English spread,other languages changed English
by contact or by new inventions and technology.
In contrast,Icelandic is a language that has changed very slowly.Icelandic speakers today
can understand poetry written in a slightly different dialect over 1,000 years ago! Why has
Icelandic changed so slowly? The main reason is the isolated (孤立的)location of the island in
the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.__15__ Compared to England , Iceland had no history of
colonialism.Iceland's small population has not played a major role in international trade or
communication.Today,most Icelanders speak English in addition to their native language.With
outside influences,Icelandic is changing more rapidly now.
A.People everywhere could watch the news or sports events in English.
B.These changes have a great influence on the development of society.
C.Isolation meant that for hundreds of years,Icelanders had little contact with speakers of
other languages.
D.What are some of the factors that influence how quickly a language changes?
E.The language communication brings about the communication of technology.
F.In the past,other languages such as Latin or French were more important than English.
G.English was the primary means of communication in these colonies.[答案] 11-15 DFGAC

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I hit the back window of a new car with a hammer.In a flash I was in.I started the car,just
like my older brother had taught me.I was 12 then.It seems crazy now.Today,everyone knows
me as Donald Driver,a_famous_football_player.I've dedicated(致力于,献身于) my life after
football to helping disadvantaged kids around the country.
Mom would have killed me if she'd known what I was up to.My dad had gone to prison
while she was pregnant with me.Mom wanted a_better_life for me,my two brothers and two
sisters.She worked long hours to support us.But she often fell behind on rent and then we'd have
to move.Trouble really started when we moved next door to a man named J.R.Mom trusted him
to care us while she was at work,and he did.What Mom didn't know was that J.R. and his
friends were dealing drugs.
My older brother Moses and I served as lookouts(放哨人,望风者).We knew it was
wrong,but the money was too good—$100 a night.We broke it into smaller_bills,and regularly
slipped some into Mom's purse.Then Moses discovered we could bring in even more cash by
stealing cars.We practiced giving the_same_smile,hug and kiss for my mom when I came home,
no matter what we'd done on the streets.
Now , though , I was about to get caught.The_police got closer.I turned into a back
alley.Suddenly,up ahead,a car backed out of a driveway.I saw a little old lady sitting in the
driver's seat.But it was too late.I stopped and jumped out to see if the old lady was damaged.The
woman,Evelyn_Johnson,looked angry,but unhurt.“Go sit in my house right now,”she
said.It was the tone of voice that no kid can disobey.The police arrived and began to question the
old woman.
“The man who did this ran that way,”she said,pointing down the alley.
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2.应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
【参考范文】
When the police drove off,Evelyn_Johnson pushed some cookies in front of me.“You've
been given an opportunity,”she said.“Don't waste it.There aren't any second chances.”I went
back to Miss Johnson's a few days later,trying to do something for damaging her car.I went
again the next week,and I kept going back.“How are your grades?”she'd ask.“Did you win
the game?”I liked that she cared.Sure,my mom cared,a lot,but she worked so much.Miss
Johnson always had the time.Over the years,Miss Johnson had become like a real grandmother
to me.
I spent more time studying and football kept me busy too.All throughout the difficulties,I
thought about Miss Johnson and the chance she'd given me.I worked hard on the football field
and became a_famous_football_player.I turned down an alley to escape the_police.Little did I
know I'd find a way to a_better_life than I could ever have imagined.

A
Glenn was born on July 18,1921,in Cambridge and grew up in nearby New Concord,
Ohio.He started his flying career as a fighter pilot(飞行员).Later,Glenn took a dangerous job as
a test pilot,flying new planes to see if they were safe.
In the late 1950s,a “space race” began between the U.S.and the Soviet Union.Both
countries wanted to be the first to send a human into space,including to the moon.In 1961,a
Russian astronaut,Yuri Gagarin,orbited Earth.But the space race was not over yet.Glenn's
chance to go into space came on February 20,1962.By that time,another American,Alan
B.Shepard,had flown in space,but he had not orbited Earth.Glenn's flight was aired live on
television and radio.Americans everywhere stopped to watch.
Glenn's Friendship 7 capsule circled the planet three times.A faulty equipment led Glenn to
believe the capsule might burn up on its return to Earth,but in the end it splashed down safely in
the Atlantic Ocean.He became the first American to orbit Earth in a spaceship.
In 1984,Glenn ran for president,but he did not get enough support and dropped out of the
race.Glenn returned to space on October 29,1998,when he was 77.He spent nine days on the
space shuttle Discovery.Glenn went so that scientists could test the effects of space travel on
older people.He holds the record for being the oldest person in space.Glenn died Thursday,
Dec.8,2016,at the age of 95.
Glenn refused to see himself as a hero.He preferred to focus on his work,saying.“If there
is one thing I've learned in my years on this planet,it's that the happiest people I've known are
those who devoted themselves to something bigger and more meaningful than merely their own
selfinterest.”

A telescope,called Gaia,is being designed by astronomers in Europe,and it couldn't be
more different from Pan STARRS , which is another telescope being designed.While
PanSTARRS will be looking for asteroids (小行星)and comets headed for Earth,Gaia will be
looking at our entire galaxy (银河系)....
Gaia is designed to draw a map of the Milky Way,our home galaxy.Just as a map of your
town gives you a picture of where things are located , Gaia's map of the galaxy will tell
astronomers where the stars are.Over five years,Gaia will observe (观察)about a billion stars and
other objects in our galaxy.Each object will be observed about 70 times.
Gaia will be sent into space connected to a rocket.It contains two telescopes,each focused
at a different angle (角度).These two telescopes act like Gaia's “eyes”.The reason why humans
can see things in 3D is that we have two eyes focused on the same object,at slightly different
angles.By using two telescopes like eyes,Gaia can produce the first 3D map of the positions of
the stars it views.
Gaia,which is to be sent into space in 2011,will be a powerful telescope.If you were to use
it on Earth,for example,you could stand 600 miles away from your best friends and still get a
clear picture of their hair.
Gaia is one of more than a dozen telescopes being designed by scientists right now.The next
generation of telescopes will reveal new parts of our universe that will seem
surprising.The_universe , with_all_its_planets , stars_and_other_strange_objects ,
is_a_puzzle_with_pieces_that_we_can_see_by_using_powerful_telescopes.

__11__ We are learning from life constantly,as long as we recognize and accept those
lessons.When you choose to be a student of life,you open yourself to limitless opportunities.
Explore the world.Don't limit yourself to your hometown or to the city you got your first
job.__12__ It doesn't have to be just one town or one apartment complex (建筑群).Backpacking
may not be for everyone,but it's not the only way you can see the world.Travelling doesn't just
have to be going overseas but also dropping by many states.Culture exists not just in a country
but even in small communities.
Gain new life skills.Maybe it's time that you finally learn how to fix a broken faucet(水龙
头)or even fix the faulty light in your bathroom.Learn how to drive a car or ride a bike.There
are definitely things you don't know how to do , and you have a lifetime ahead of you to
learn.__13__
Be cultured.Watch as many movies and read as many books as possible.Books and
movies are the fruit of the writers' or the makers' life experiences and understanding of their
surroundings.Movies and books are a good look into how people understand the world.
__14__For some people,to grow older means to keep your circle of friends down to a few,but that shouldn't stop you from meeting new people.Widen your circle by allowing people into
your life and letting them get to know you.Widening your circle to people from all walks of life
helps you know more about the world.
Do many firsts.When was the last time you did something for the first time?__15__It can
be as simple as watching a movie alone or as big as trying bungee jumping.Doing something for
the first time doesn't need to have a lifechanging effect.It can be a simple realization that
obviously,going to a film screening by yourself isn't so bad.
So,there are so much more to learn,especially now that we're virtually connected to
everyone in the world.As a student of life,it's really up to you to use all your resources and make
it into something enriching.
A.Widen your circle.
B.Entertain yourself.
C.If you can't think of the answer,maybe you need to go out and try something new.
D.Go beyond the place you consider home,because home can be many places.
E.You don't always need a great realization for everything you do.
F.Lessons are not limited to our academic studies.
G.It's never too late to start learning something new.

境。]

后面有 than,说明横线上应该使用比较级的形式。]

that/which 指代先行词,并在句中作主语。]

Li_Ming_and_I_took_part_in_a_wilderness_survival_program_yesterday,and it has been
one of the most unforgettable experiences since high school.
Early in the morning,we set out.Li Ming was carrying a compass and a tent in his backpack,
and in mine there was a flashlight,a map,a knife,a firstaid kit,some matches,candles,food
and clothing.
On the way to the campsite,we climbed a hill,and then we swam across a river,pushing
the backpack on a large piece of wood we had found by the river.As we got into a forest,we lost
our way.Luckily,we found the right direction with the compass.By the time we arrived at the
campsite,it had already been dark.Li Ming then put up the tent,and made a fire and started
cooking.The two of us spent the night in the forest.
We learnt to use knowledge gained in the classroom training to solve problems.It was quite
an experience for us both,which I'll never forget for the rest of my life.
Ⅵ.读后读写(满分 25 分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was the late 1930s,and things were tough.Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in
our small community of New Westminster,BC.My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake,five years
ago.
Looking back,I realize what Mum went though sending us kids to school.Every morning
she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes,because our soles(鞋底) were worn
out.When we got home,Mum would have“French_toast”ready for us.Constant moving was
typical for my family in those times.Rent was 25 dollars a month,but Mum couldn't pay it,and
we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.
Christmas was approaching,and we were entitled to a twentyfivedollar Christmas fund
from social_services.The inspector came to our house,and searched it from top to bottom to be
sure we didn't have any food hidden away.When he didn't find any,he issued the cheque to
Mum.Mum said that instead of buying food,she would use the 25_dollars to pay back rent,
assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer.She told us then there would be
nothing for Christmas.Unknown to Mum,I had been selling Christmas tree,shoveling snow,and doing odd jobs
to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots .Boots that weren't patched ,boots with no
cardboard in the soles.I knew exactly which boots I wanted.They were ten inch Top Genuine
Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.
Well,the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve.I was excited,as I hurried up the
road to the shoe store,but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations.It
was then I realized at our house,we had no lights,no decorations,nor any money for Christmas
goodies.I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas,and I felt sad.
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2.应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;

【参考范文】
As I continued walking I began to reconsider my plan.I was feeling a strange sense of
guilt.Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while my mother was home in tears.She would
be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.Across the street from the bus stop was a
big grocery store.I realized that 25_dollars I had worked so hard for went a long way towards
lights,decorations and a turkey.After finishing shopping,I went home.
With great excitement and tears in my eyes,I knocked on the door.I could hardly wait to see
my mother's face!When Mum opened the door,some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor,
and she just stood there , dumbfounded.Holding back the tears , I said ,“ Merry
Christmas!”That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum to last two lifetimes.

Some young people have become tired of how commercialized Christmas has become.As a
result,they try to break with established traditions.What do they do to get more out of Christmas?
Ways of celebrating
Some_folk_kill_two_birds_with_one_stone:_by booking a short holiday abroad they can
escape miserable winter weather and the strained atmosphere of a family Christmas with the
relatives.
OK , so flying to warm and exotic climes is great for people who live in cold winter
climates.But how do you celebrate Christmas when your yearround climate is warm,or even
tropical?
For instance,in California,where suntans and palm trees replace traditional Christmas
images of snow and sleighs,there are some Christmas traditions which may seem unusual to
those used to more traditional images.
In Santa Cruz,California,Santa Claus arrives on a surfboard,wearing a red wetsuit.As long
as he comes bearing presents,Surfing Santa would probably be welcome anywhere.
In Australia,many young people enjoy the warm weather with a beach barbecue and cold
beer.In recent years , Bondi Beach has become a magnet for overseas visitors to gather and
celebrate.It's not uncommon for numbers to reach 40,000 on Christmas day.
In cooler climes , many young people simply see Christmas as a time to escape their
immediate families and celebrate with friends.
Gift giving
The new generation is trendy and tech savvy.As a result , digital and electronic gadgets
feature highly on many young people's Christmas wish lists.Not surprisingly , then , the
Guardian's top five Christmas gifts for modern young people in 2010 are:
1.Apple's iPad
2.Microsoft's Xbox Kinnect
3.Digital Cameras
4.New Apple iPod Touch
5.The ZiiSound D5 wireless stereo system

In a time when ivory poaching(偷猎)has gotten so bad that it threatens to wipe out several
animal species,a young Dutch designer is creating “egalitarian(平等主义)jewelry” made of
our very own ivory-teeth.
Lucie Majerus got the idea for her “human ivory” collection after having her wisdom
teeth removed.She kept them and soon realized they would make great material for a jewelry
collection. “ Why wouldn't we value our own material instead of the precious material from
other species? And what if we mine our own ivory and turn it into pearls?” she asks.Her own teeth became a ring,but in order to create a whole collection,she needed more
material,and since having more of her teeth removed wasn't a very pleasant choice,she asked
her dentist to save his patient's unwanted teeth.Most people choose not to keep their pulled teeth,
so they are usually donated to dentistry schools.Majerus also received the lost teeth of two of-
her teachers at Design Academy Eindhoven , so she had a nice supply of human ivory to
experiment with.
To turn human teeth into attractive pieces of jewelry , Lucie Majerus first bleaches( 漂
白)them,and then uses a stone polishing machine to shape the teeth into various shapes.
Majerus displayed her human ivory jewelry collection at this year's Dutch Design Week,
and claims that people's reaction was mostly positive. “ Surprisingly , most people aren't
frightened at the sight of the jewelry,but really like the idea,” Majerus told Fast Co Design.
“Some regret that they didn't keep their tooth at the dentist and some,who will have teeth taken
out soon,are now looking forward to it.”

Ⅵ.概要写作(满分 25 分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
I talk a lot to myself.It helps me to keep my concentration on the activity in hand,makes me
focus more on my studies,and gives me some pretty brilliant ideas while talking to myself;
more importantly,I produce better works.Do you talk to yourself?Don't get embarrassed at
admitting it because science has discovered that those who talk to themselves are actually
geniuses but not crazies!
Psychologist Gary Lupyan conducted an experiment in a supermarket where 20 volunteers
were shown objects and were asked to remember them.Half of them were told to repeat the
objects,for example,bananas,and the other half remained silent.In the end,the result showed
that selfdirected speech aided people to find the objects faster,by 50 to 100 milliseconds,
compared to the silent ones.
“ I often talk to myself when searching for something in the refrigerator or on the
supermarket shelves,”said Gary Lupyan.This personal experience actually made him conduct
this experiment.Lupyan,together with another psychologist,Daniel Swigley,came up with the outcome that those who talk to themselves are geniuses.Here are the reasons:
When you are talking to yourself,your sensory mechanism(感觉机制) gets more active.It
gets easier on your memory since you can form an image of the word in your mind,and you can
act accordingly.
Every one of us tends to have various types of thoughts.Most make sense,while the others
don't.Suppose you are angry at someone and you feel like killing that person.Now for this issue
you won't run to a therapist(治疗师),will you?No,what you do is lock yourself in a room and
say to yourself.You are letting go off the anger by talking to yourself about the pros and cons of
killing that person,and eventually you calm down.This is a silly thought that you have and are
unable to share it with any other person.Psychologist Linda Sapadin said,“It helps you clarify
your thoughts,tend to what's important and firm up any decision you are thinking about.”
【参考范文】
It's been discovered that people having the habit of talking to themselves are supposed to be
geniuses rather than crazies.(要点 1)The experiments carried by psychologists have proved it.(要
点 2)The experts believe that your memory can be stimulated by talking to yourself.(要点 3)Also,
it helps to make a decision more easily with your thoughts clarified.(要点 4)

Children who spend more time outdoors may have a lower risk of becoming nearsighted,
new research suggests.
In the study,researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren.The scientists found that the
kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23 percent less
likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had not been instructed to
spend more time outdoors.Moreover,among the kids who did become nearsighted during the
study,the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly smaller among those who spent
more time outdoors.
The researchers selected six schools and required the children,whose average age was 7 at
the start of the study,to attend one additional 60minute class of outdoor activities during each
school day for three years.The parents of these children were also encouraged to engage their
children in outdoor activities after school,especially during weekends and holidays.The other
half of the children,from another six schools,continued their usual activity patterns.After three
years,30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention(干预)group had become nearsighted,compared
with 38.5 percent of the kids in the other group.
It is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit children's eyesight,the
researchers said.However,some research has suggested that the higher levels of light intensity
found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine(多巴胺)of the eye.In turn,dopamine is known to restrain( 抑 制 ) the type of growth in the eye that is associated with
nearsightedness.
Based on the new results , the researchers recommend that children spend more time
outdoors because of the potential benefits to their eyesight.However,it's important to protect
kids' skin and eyes from UV light,which can be damaging.
【语篇解读】 本文为说明文。科学研究发现户外活动能减少孩子患近视的概率。

Whether in the home or the workplace , social robots are going to become a lot more
common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world
in a more humanized way,said Cynthia Breazeal,chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework,social robots will be much more
like companions(伙伴) than mere tools.For example,these robots will be able to distinguish
when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot , arranged to ship later this year , is designed to be a personalized
assistant.You can talk to the robot,ask it questions,and make requests for it to perform different
tasks.The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it
learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly
family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications
in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these
spaces.
Fellow robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company's
“Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store,which can help the customers find items
and help guide them to the product's location in the store.It can also speak different languages
and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans,the more it learns.But Oshbot,like other
social robots,is not intended to replace workers,but to work alongside other employees.“We
have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us,but with us,” said Breazeal.

don't have much time,just surrounding your kids with books goes a long way too.
Put kids to bed early.
__14__ Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep and kids up to age 12

pronunciation.

Ⅵ.读后读写(满分 25 分)阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
One time,the teachers at a school wanted to teach the students about airplanes.While all
airplanes can fly,some are able to fly farther than others.This is because not all airplanes are
built the same.For example,a fighter plane looks very different from a plane that people fly in
when they want to go on_a_holiday . The teachers wondered how they could make students
understand this.
Then,the science teacher,Mr.Moose,decided that the school should have a paper airplane
contest.The students would produce paper airplane designs.They would stand in line on the
playground behind the school.The students would take turns throwing their airplanes.The student
whose airplane went the farthest would win.
When Mr.Moose announced the paper airplane contest to the students , they were very
excited.A student named Paul,who was on the wrestling team,bragged(吹牛) to everyone else
that his airplane would win.“I am the strongest,”Paul said.“So I will be able to throw my
airplane the farthest.”However,while Paul was saying this,another student,Brian,was thinking
how he could win.Brian did not play any sports and was not very strong.But he loved airplanes
and really wanted to win the contest.
Brian realized what he had to do.He went to the store and bought a big stack of paper.When
he got home , he took the paper into his backyard.He took a piece of paper and folded an
airplane.It didn't go very far,so Brian took another sheet and folded another airplane and threw
it.This airplane went a little farther.Brian kept folding different kinds of airplanes and throwing
them.Some went very far and some did not.Finally,when Brian had used all the paper,he
walked up to the airplane that had flown the farthest and picked it up.
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2.应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
【参考范文】
The next day was the contest.All the students lined up.Everyone took turns.After a while,
everyone had thrown except Paul and Brian.Paul went first.With a mighty yell,he launched the
airplane into the sky.It went farther than every other airplane.Everyone clapped.Finally,it was
Brian's turn.Brian took the airplane that he had picked up the day before.He walked up to the line
and,with all his strength,he threw the plane.It went flying,farther and farther,until finally it
landed—10 feet past Paul's plane!The whole school cheered.Brian was the winner.Mr.Moose
gave him a prize:a toy airplane.
Brian won because he tried out many solutions to the problem of how to make an airplane
fly very far.He did this by testing out many different designs and comparing the results.When he
found the design that worked best—the paper airplane that flew the farthest—he used it.Because
Brian tried a lot of designs,he was able to make up for his lack of strength and beat Paul.
