The chemist looked at it very carefully. Then he said politely, “Could you wait a moment, madam” He went to the back of he shop. After a few minutes he returned, carrying a large bottle.

I also learnt that not all great ideas work.11 is a common part of the inventing 12 .As my father and I worked together, I began to 13 that my dad was quite an inventor himself.

On the first day, my father gave me a watch. “You need to have a watch, so take good care of it,” he said.The next day, I went swimming. The sun was shining on the water. The water was warm and beautiful. I really enjoyed being in the water.When I returned to beach, I was quite tired so I lay down. At that moment, I wanted to see what time it was. But the watch was gone! I looked for it all afternoon, but I could not find it.That night at dinner, my sister asked, “What time is it?”“Ask Tom,” my mother said. “He has a new watch.”Dad looked at me and said, “Don’t tell me that you’ve lost the watch already!”“No!” I said. I was sweating (出汗) with great fear. I knew I was going to be caught in a terrible lie. Just then, there was an announcement, “Ladies and gentlemen, a very nice watch was found on the beach today. If you lost one and can identify (确认) it, please come to the front desk.”At once, I knew what I had to do. I slowly got up, with my whole family staring at me. I went to the desk. There it was. The watch was not broken. It was still working.I walked back to the table, sat down and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell the truth.” My family smiled. They knew that I had finally learned my lesson.19．Tom’s father gave him a new watch because Tom ________.A．needed one B．was on vacationC．disliked his old one D．behaved well at school20．What did Tom do when he found the watch was gone?A．He told his father about that.B．He asked the front desk for help.C．He spent all afternoon looking for it.D．He did nothing and continued lying on the beach.21．How might Tom feel after saying “No”?A．Happy.B．Worried.C．Relaxed.D．Angry. 22．What does the underlined word “lesson” in the last sentence refer to?A．We should listen to parents.B．We should excuse others’mistakes.C．We should take good care of ourselves.D．We should face mistakes instead of telling lies.“Don’t tell it to anyone.” We hear these words before or after someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. We just can’t help “spiling the beans”, even if we regret it later.One expert explains why keeping a secret is a challenge. According to Dr Asim Shah, keeping a secret may become a burden. As soon as you tell somebody not to repeat your secret, they begin to have an obsessive urge (过分冲动) to share it with others.With secrets so often getting out, why do people share them in the first place? Shah explained one is that people often feel like it will help them keep close friendships with others. However, linking telling someone your secrets with how close you are to them is not always advisable. It’s important for people to understand that they can have close relationships without sharing their secrets unnecessarily.Another reason is that people feel guilty (内疚的) about not sharing a secret. For example, if your friends tell you a secret but you don’t share it with those close to you, you may feel ashamed. If you don’t share certain things with them, a sense of distrust can develop. Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either losing or winning the trust of someone.He added that people who are more talkative may let a secret slip out, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to share secrets with quieter people. If somebody is quiet and keeps everything in, it may cause them to have more stress, and finally they will talk to somebody.“If you end up accidentally sharing a secret with somebody else, it’s best to be honest and let the person know that you shared his or her secret and that it isn’t so secret anymore,” Shah said.23．What does the underlined phrase “spilling the beans” mean?A．Forgetting the secret.B．Telling the secret to others.C．Discovering the secret.D．Keeping the secret to ourselves.24．The example in the fourth paragraph is to show that ________.A．it is of great importance to trust each otherB．close friends should be honest with each otherC．keeping a secret can make people feel sorryD．it’s not necessary to feel guilty about not sharing anything25．Which is Dr Asim Shah’s opinion?A．Sharing a secret can lead to a close friendship.B．Talkative people are more likely to keep a secret.C．The person who keeps a secret may suffer from stress.D．it’s best to share a secret with quiet people as it's safe with them.26．The passage mainly talks about ________.A．how to avoid letting out a secretB．why it is important to keep a secretC．why it is difficult to keep a secretD．how to find out a secret by ourselves①Of all the animals on Earth, none are more willing to explore than humans. Other animals will go in search of food or water. But humans are searching for possibilities of discovery (发现). So what caused us to explore across the world?②Maybe it’s in our DNA．In 1999, Dr. Chuansheng Chen carried out a study of a gene (基因) known as DRD4-7R. This gene is found in about 20% of all humans. This kind of people are mostly interested in taking risk, exploring, and getting new ideas. Dr. Chen found that DRD4-7R is more common in people who move around a lot than those who don’t. For example, studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic tribes (游牧的部落) than in tribes that like to stay in one place better. Several other researchers have studied this topic and found out more to support Dr. Chen’s research.③But can one gene be a drive (驱动) for the need to explore? Dr. Kidd doesn’t think so. He thinks DRD4-7R might make people get more curious (好奇的), but other important sets genes also give us great minds and skilled hands. He believes that not just one gene, but groups of genes work together to create behaviors like exploration.④The environment we live in also makes much difference to our need to explore. For example, during the European Age of Exploration, explorers became rich and famous fortheir discoveries. This made others try to make themselves become rich through exploration too. Therefore, their exploration was more likely encouraged by money than by genes.⑤Maybe the need to explore comes from something inside us, such as the DRD4-7R gene. Or maybe it has more to do with what’s happening in the world around us. Maybe it’s both. Whatever the reason, it seems we (or at least some of us) will keep exploring the mountains, the sea, the stars, and so on because that’s just what humans do.27．What did Dr. Chen find about the DRD4-7R gene?A．It has more influence on people in Africa.B．It could be found in most of the humans.C．It prevents the people in Africa from moving around.D．It may be more common in people who like taking risk.28．What did the example of the European Age of Exploration show?A．The purpose of exploring.B．The importance of the environment.C．The advantage of exploring.D．The big changes of the environment.29．What is the structure of this passage?A．B．C．D．30．Which of the following is the best title of the text?A．Genes’ influence on humans.B．Humans’ need to explore.C．What causes humans to explore.D．How do humans explore.三、选词填空用方框中所给词话的适当形式填空，每词限用一次。

The elder was called Simon and the younger Victor. They loved each other very much, and always took care of each other. Every day they worked from morning until night, getting as much grain （谷物）as possible from their fields.One late autumn evening, after their work in the fields was done, Simon said to his wife, “Victor got married last month.

Here’s one man’s story about test stress.During the Tang Dynasty（朝代）there was a poor man named Meng Jiao. He loved studying and writing poems. Though his hard work helped him become a talented poet, he needed to make more money. He decided to take the Ke Ju exams. The exams were open for anyone to take. Whoever passed could get an official（官方的）job.Meng Jiao studied hard for the tests. He took them several times. Each time, he failed. But Meng Jiao never gaveup. He studied harder and harder. He took the tests over and over again.Finally, when he was 46 years old, Meng Jiao passed the test! He was so happy! He put on new clothes. He tied on red flowers to celebrate. Then he rode on a horse through Chang’an City.During his ride, Meng Jiao wrote a poem. In English, it reads, “Horseback riding swiftly（迅速地）through the spring breeze（微风）, while seeing all the flowers of Chang’an in one day.”Meng Jiao’s poem tells about his feelings on that exciting day. His words describe the feeling of enjoying the flowers and Chang’an City in a day.The poem became famous. But people said it would be impossible to really enjoy everything in one day. This led to the phrase（成语）“seeing flowers while riding a horse swiftly.” It describes giving something a quick look without noticing the details（细节）.9. Meng Jiao decided to take the Ke Ju exams because he _______.A. needed to make more moneyB. wanted to write poemsC. wanted to enjoy the flowersD. had to deal with the stress10. The third paragraph（段落）tells us _______.A. stress is bad for studyB. we should give up when we failC. it was not easy to pass the Ke Ju examsD. Meng Jiao was so clever that he succeeded11.

Which of the following comes from the story?A.鸟语花香B. 五花杀马C. 走马观花D. 落花流水DMany people dream of traveling into outer space. However, spending too much time in space may cause health problems. That’s why astronauts shouldn’t spend more than six months on the International Space Station（ISS）at a time.Muscle（肌肉）and bone loss（骨质损失）. In a weightless environment, astronauts don’t need to use their muscles to support themselves. So their muscles start shrinking（萎缩）. To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to exercise for about two hours each day on the ISS.Sleep disorder（紊乱）. In space, the sun rises every 90 minutes. It is hard for astronauts to get used to thislight-dark cycle（循环）when they sleep. Also, they need to sleep in a sleeping bag that is fixed to a wall. It is uncomfortable. Now astronauts have individual（单独的）sleeping pods（睡眠舱）that help shut out some of the light. Still, studies have found that most astronauts only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours.Brain changes. Scientists have found that the position of the brain changes during spaceflight. This can influence how the brain deals with how we see, stay balanced（平衡）and move around. That’s why some astronauts can’t control their movement and balance after returning to Earth. Scientists have also found that astronauts may get used to this change after going on more spaceflights. But they still need to do more research.13. When astronauts don’t use their muscles in space, _______.A. they should eat much meatB. their muscles start shrinkingC. they need to exercise all dayD. they can’t support themselves14.

After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam ended.“That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral (道德). We wanted to show students how important honesty is,” said Cai Wenguo, the school’s headmaster. The school says no cheating(作弊) happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80％of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.“I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,” said Lang Yudan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11.“Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators（监考人). But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.” said Hua Sha.“I don’t like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed.” Liu Qingxi said.“I think it’s very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them.” Shang Guanyuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.1.

While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru.

Every year, there is a special day for people around the world to celebrate the importance of good and healthy sleep-World Sleep Day.Sleep is like food for the brain. 1People of different ages need different amounts（数量）of sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation（国家睡眠基金会）in the US, adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep a night.Teenagers need nine to ten hours. 23 The China Youth and Children Research Center said that about 80 percent of middle school students don't get enough sleep. It has influenced students' school life.Students without enough sleep may get poor grades. 4To solve this problem, scientists advise that students should get less schoolwork and more time to sleep.Taking a 20-minute sleep at noon is also useful. 5 For example, try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays.五、任务型阅读（本题共计1小题，总分10分）22.（10分）The Spring Festival is coming! It's a fun time for kids to get red envelopes (红包). In China, the color red means happiness and luck. So people give red envelopes to send their best wishes. People do the same when they come to a birthday party of a relative or an elderly person, or visit someone who has just given birth to baby.It's believed that the tradition of giving red envelopes dates back (追溯到) to the Qing Dynasty. The elder could thread (串成串) coins with red or colorful strings. They thought this kind of coins could protect their children from sickness and death. Later, people used red envelopes instead of the red strings.Now, giving and receiving red envelopes are very common to every Chinese. It's more like a way to communicate with others. When you give a red envelope, just as what everyone else does, you feel a part of the circle. But this tradition also has its downsides. Most young people, who have just started their careers, can't afford to give a lot of money. Xiao Jun, who has just found a job recently, said, "I feel stressed about the custom. At present I don't have enough money. Of course you can choose not to give envelopes. But you may gradually (渐渐地) find yourself out of some social activities.Some people are calling for a change to the tradition. They argue that we don't have to give money to show our good wishes. In the UK and the US, people often just give pretty cards to the person they want to bless (祝福). Close friends give gifts, but the gifts are usually things that are not very expensive. In this way, people can get on with each other easily and happily.根据短文内容回答下列问题（每小题答案不超过6个词）1. What does the color red mean?_______________________________________________________________________________2. What did the elder think could protect their children from sickness and death in the past? _________________________________________________________________________ ______3. How do the Chinese communicate with others now according to the passage?_________________________________________________________________________ ______4. What does Xiao Jun think of the custom?_________________________________________________________________________ ______5. What things do people often just give to the person they want to bless in the UK and the US?六、单词拼写（本题共计1小题，总分5分）23.（5分）根据句意和提示写出单词，完成句子。

OK, so that doesn’t sound too bad, but this was no ordinary goodbye, because each day Rain’s dad did it while wearing a different fancy-dress costume (服装)!It all started on Rain’s first day of high school. Like many proud parents, Rochelle and Dale, Rain’s parents, sent him off to school with a big wave. Feeling himself no longer a little kid, Rain found it quite embarrassing. That evening he said how unhappy he was when they waved him off. Then Dale had a great idea.The next morning, as Rain stepped onto the school bus, he could hear his school friends laughing. He was shocked to find that his dad was waving him off, dressed as an American football player, complete with a ball and helmet. For the rest of the school year, Dale waved goodbye dressed in different costumes. One day he was a king, the next a cook, the following Wonder Woman.Amazingly, Dale only spent $50 on all of the costumes. He got most of them from the family fancy-dress collection and then several friends and neighbors were happy to help.Most of Rain’s classmates looked forward to seeing what Dale would be wearing every day. Even Rain finally realized how cool his dad was.On the last day of school, Dale dressed up as a pirate (海盗) and stood next to a sign which said, “It’s been fun waving at the bus. Have a great summer.”31. How long did Rain’s dad wave him off in a costume?A．For a school year. . B．For a term. C．For a year. D．For a summerholiday.32.

The two sides of Ma Mian Qun are pleated (起褶的), and there is a smooth part in the middle, commonly known as “Ma Mian”.Why is it called “Ma Mian”? In fact, “Ma Mian” is a kind of structure (结构) used for protection in the city wall system. However, all the books about Ma Mian Qun only show that the smooth surface without pleats in the middle is called “Ma Mian”. But there is no further explanation of how Ma Mian Qun got its name.Ma Mian Qun is colorful, mostly red and blue. Red means good luck and joy. According to Han customs, women usually wore red skirts during celebrations of festivals. In the Qing dynasty, blue was also common and popular, paired with black and yellow.Ma Mian Qun has different kinds of patterns with different meanings. For example, dragon and phoenix patterns show the love between a man and a woman or a beautiful marriage. Peony(牡丹) is a symbol of wealth and honor.Recently, Ma Mian Qun has become a popular form of skirt for Hanfu fans. More and more modern fashion designers (设计师) find ideas from Ma Mian Qun. For example, some get ideas from the patterns. Some combine (结合) the styles of Ma Mian Qun with T-shirts or blouses, which are more suitable for everyday wear. Even western fashion has been influenced by Ma Mian Qun for many years.36.

Some of these help us solve problems. Others make life easier, or more fun. Let’s see some of them!Easy walkingThese m ight look like skates, but they’re actually battery-powered (电池驱动) shoes with wheels. They let you walk faster and more easily. Moonwalkers, made by Shift Robotics, use AI to sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down and adjust (调整) themselves. The wheels lock when you’re taking the stairs (台阶). With Moonwalkers, you can walk twice as fast as the average speed. Not only can you save a lot of time, but also go green!A cooler colorThe common paint on a white building reflects (反射) 80 to 90% of the sunlight that shines on it. The rest of the light warms the nearby area. But a new Whiter Paint is made of chemicals that better reflect UV rays. This paint reflects up to 98% of the sunlight.“The heat is reflected into deep space,” says Xiulin Ruan, who led the Purdue University team that created the paint.“The paint can keep our cities cooler.” The team says it also has a lightweight paint for airplanes, cars, and even spaceships.Stopping firesAlertCalifornia is the public-safety program at the University of California San Diego. It uses AI to predict wildfires. The AI finds smoke and other early signs of fire, using more than 1,000 cameras in forests across the state. It warns people through text messages. In two months, the system correctly found 77 fires before any 911 calls came in.41. What in Moonwalkers can help users control the speed?A．The battery. B．The wheel. C．The AI. D．The lock.42. Whiter Paint helps cool the city through ________.A．cooling the nearby area directly B．making chemicalsC．reflecting sunlight into space D．taking in UV rays43. AlertCalifornia finds fires before they start with the help of ________.A．smoke B．cameras C．text messages D．911 calls44.

Cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) creates these pretty lights in the North and South Pole areas. It seems that cosmic radiation is a beautiful gift from space. But for some people, it can be dangerous.A 53-year-old fight attendant in South Korea, who spent about 1,022 hours flying each year, passed away due to cancer. A South Korean court connected his death to great exposure (暴露) to cosmic radiation. During his career, nearly half of his flights crossed the areas in and around the North Pole, where cosmic radiation is extremely strong.① Cosmic radiation from space is hitting Earth nonstop, coming from both the sun and other stars in the Milky Way.① Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) and atmosphere (大气层) protect us from most cosmic radiation. The magnetic field is strongest near the equator and weakest at the poles. People living at higher latitudes (纬度), like in Heilongjiang province, are exposed to a little bit more cosmic radiation than those living at lower latitudes, like in Hainan province. Also, when you go higher in an airplane, the thin atmosphere increases exposure to cosmic radiation.① For flight attendants crossing polar areas and for astronauts in space, cosmic radiation can create health risks. NASA reported that the radiation exposure faced by astronauts spending six months in space is the same as having 1,000 chest X-rays.① However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also makes it useful. The light speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided wonderful ideas for treating tumors (肿瘤). Scientists can now produce man-made radiation similar to cosmic radiation. Compared to the present ways of treating tumors, it can kill tumors better with less damage to healthy parts of the body around them.34．The death of the flight attendant is believed to have something to do with ________.A．long flight hours B．lower latitudesC．strong cosmic radiation D．a family history of cancer35．The sentence “Luckily, our planet is well-protected.” should be put in ________.A．①B．①C．①D．①36．Astronauts are exposed to more cosmic radiation because ________.a. they are closer to the sun and starsb. they are at higher latitudes in spacec. space suit cannot prevent cosmic radiationd. there is not much atmosphere protecting themA．ac B．bc C．ad D．cd37．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Cosmic radiation is very dangerous.B．People can produce cosmic radiation.C．Earth is filled with cosmic radiation.D．Cosmic radiation helps fight cancer.On Sept. 7, famous Chinese archaeologist (考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her contribution (贡献) to the protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang.Called the “daughter of Dunhuang”, her story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves, a place she had wanted to explore for a long time.“Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth,” Fan told Gansu Daily.Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the Caves to copy murals (壁画) and do whatever they could to protect and restore them.In 2011 after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves by Fan’s team was finally published. It was known as China's first professional report on cave archaeology.As time passed. Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. Something needed to be done to preserve Dunhuang’s heritage.In the late 1980s, Fan stumbled upon computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world.“In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world culturalheritage of the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.”38．What can we learn about Fan from the passage?A．She is a woman of great determination (决心).B．Her health was affected by her hard work.C．She began her work at the Mogao Caves at 83.D．She studied archaeology at Nanjing University.39．What was Fan’s first impression (印象) of Dunhuang?A．It was an amazing place.B．The environment was terrible.C．It was in great need of protection.D．The working conditions were better than expected.40．What pushed Fan to set up a digital database for the Mogao Caves?A．Her interest in computer technology.B．Her dream of spreading Chinese culture.C．The increasing risk of harm to the caves.D．The need to publish the professional report.41．What does Fan think of her work in Dunhuang?A．It has won her great respect.B．It has been her lifelong career.C．It has influenced many young people.D．It has helped with cultural exchange.Every culture has a special way of eating. In parts of Africa, people eat with their fingers. North Americans and Europeans use forks, knives, and spoons to carry out the same task. In Asia, chopsticks are the top choice.You might think it’s easy to use chopsticks, but actually it’s not as simple as it first appears. I learned this lesson a couple of years ago. I had applied for a job with a Chinese-Canadian company in Vancouver. As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food and they get a simple pleasure from eating.So I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the skill, I had failed miserably in every try. Would they laugh at me? Would I make a complete fool of myself?I went home that evening and cooked some rice and chicken and I spent the next hour learning how to use chopsticks. Try as I might, I could not hold the food with my chopsticks.I called a friend for help. She patiently explained the proper way of holding thembetween the thumb, first and middle fingers. “It’s not that hard,” she said. “That’s easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It’s natural for you!”I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I tossed and turned in bed, worrying about lunch the next day. The following morning, I could hardly control my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant.We were seated at an excellent table. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons.I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks.In a second, I made up my mind. I asked the server to bring some chopsticks for me. When they arrived, I took them in my hand and carefully manoeuvred my fingers around them.I looked over at my boss. He smiled as I grasped the chopsticks and took hold of a bit of rice and meat, holding on tightly as I tried to get it to my mouth. My fingers slipped and the food fell back to the plate. However, I didn’t give up, and eventually managed to eat my entire meal using only chopsticks.In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I’m glad my new boss was so considerate. And I’m really glad I decided to ask for chopsticks.We go out for lunch often in this new company. We always have a good laugh about that day. I have now mastered the chopstick skill. And you know, it really isn’t that difficult once you get used to it.42．Why was the writer have difficulty falling asleep?A．She was too excited about the new job.B．She was afraid to give a poor impression.C．Her friend didn’t explain clearly how to use chopsticks.D．She was going to eat in a Chinese restaurant for the first time.43．What is the writer’s boss like?A．Generous and thoughtful.B．Humorous but nervous.C．Strict and nervous.D．Generous and humorous.44．What does the underlined word “embarrassment” mean?A．A situation which causes problems for someone.B．A place where people get unhappy or uncomfortable.C．A kind of food which must be eaten with a fork and a knife.D．A restaurant where people can eat food from different areas.45．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Chinese Food, the Top Choice B．Practice Makes PerfectC．Eating with the Boss D．Knives, Forks or Chopsticks?四、单词拼写(敌人).47．In this programme, you can see the highest (水平) of dance in the Han dynasty.48．It’s important that teachers in class (give sb support, courage and hope) students to think actively and try new ways.49．Cooking (need) skills and knowledge. Sometimes it is thought as a kind of art. 50．The students’ scores decide they can enter a senior middle school or not, so everyone hopes to get a high score.五、选词填空51．The tourists have waited at the airport for a couple of hours.

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn1 t think that forgetting to check the weather report before going out should cause you to get wet in the rain. That' s why he created the Lampbrella一a lamp post （灯柱）with its own "umbrella".The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. "Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw people trying to hide from the rain under the street lamps. I thought it would be a good idea to have a Lampbrella built into a street lamp/' he said.The Lampbrella is a street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy（遮蓬）. It has an inside electric motor（电动马达）which can open or close the umbrella freely. The Lampbrella will offer people cover whenever it starts raining. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a very low speed in order not to cause harm to people. What' s more, it would be grounded to protect from a possible lightning hit Each Lampbrella would offer enough cover for several people. Being 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a dangerfor the tallest man.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production（生产），Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow company, and insists his creation could be on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide cover.52.According to the passage, for what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?A. To know when there* II be a heavy rain.B. To check the weather report.C. To protect people from the rain.D. To remind people totake an umbrella.53.What can we learn from Belyaev1 s words in Paragraph 2?A. His creation was encouraged by an experience.B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.54.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The designer will open a company to produce his creation.B.The Lampbrella could be put into production at once.C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D.The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.55.The best title of this passage is .A. A special umbrella - LampbrellaB. Why Belyaev createdthe LampbrellaC. A special light - LampbrellaD. Where theLampbrella first appear第U卷（主观题共40分）五、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）（A）根据句意，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。

Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (泄露) into the room.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof (屋顶). From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.( ) 61.

He has the nicest shed (棚) for them.”Suddenly, Peter jumped up and ran after the goats hurriedly. Heidi followed him as fast as she could. Peter rushed through the middle of the flock (羊群) towards the mountain where any careless goat, if it went too near, might fall off. He saw the curious Greenfinch walking in that direction, and he was only just in time, for she had already jumped to the edge of an abyss (深渊的边缘). Peter threw himself down and caught one of her hind legs. Greenfinch began shouting angrily. She was angry at being held so fast and being stopped from continuing her journey. Greenfinch tried so hard to jump forward that Peter shouted to Heidi to come and help him. Heidi had already run up and she saw the danger both Peter andthe animal were in.

Together they led Greenfinch back to the flock. Peter had his goat in safety. He lifted his stick in order to give her a good beating as punishment. Greenfinch saw what was coming and moved back in fear. But Heidi cried out, “No, no, Peter, you must not hit her. Look! How scared she is!”“She deserves it,” shouted Peter, and again lifted his stick, Then Heidi stood in front of him and cried angrily, “It will hurt her.

At present, there are no such AI tools or robots. But scientists have been working to improve AI models. Some recent models can create realistic photos from a short written description. Others can recreate anyone’s voice based on a voice recording just a few seconds long.The AI tool that has got the most attention recently is ChatGPT, created by the company OpenAI. When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It can make up stories and games, write articles, program computers, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be very intelligent (智能的). But in fact, ChatGPT is simply guessing—based on its traininginformation—which word is most likely to come next, over and over again.In March, OpenAI developed a more powerful model, called GPT-4. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests that are difficult for humans. The rapid progress of recent AI models worries some people. In late March, many computer experts (专家) wrote a letter calling for a six-month pause (暂停) for any work on AI tools.The letter says AI companies race to create smart AI tools that no one can “understand, predict, or...control”. The group beh ind the letter wants governments to develop laws to make sure AI tools are safe.ChatGPT has caused so much excitement that many companies are likely to keep developing smart AI tools. But the letter has sent a strong warning that many people, including leaders will be thinking about carefully.29．What can we know from the first paragraphA．AI models are becoming intelligent.B．Scientists get new ideas from movies.C．Robots will not control the world in the future.D．Things in movies will happen in the real world.30．Which question is not answered in Paragraph 2A．Who created ChatGPT. B．What ChatGPT can do.C．How ChatGPT works. D．When was ChatGPT created. 31．Why did many computer experts write the letterA．They advised people not to use ChatGPT.B．They wanted to explain why GPT-4 was much safer. C．They hoped AI companies could solve real-life problems. D．They warned leaders that AI tools would become dangerous. 32．Which of the following is TRUE .A．GPT-4 can do any work instead of humans.B．Computer experts think ChatGPT is good enough.C．AI companies are racing to develop smart AI tools. D．Scientists are working to create AI tools bigger than GPT-4.
