Then Mum took me to the hospital. Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍). In fact, I was practically blind. Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! “It all makes sense now,” Mum said. As a kid living on a farm, I was forever falling over things. I was known as the clumsy (笨拙) one to my parents and four sisters. But now, I was being told that I saw the world differently — I could only make out the outlines of things. I was given reading glasses but they didn’t help much. Refusing to let my diagnosis hold me back, I continued doing everything I loved. As long as everything was in its place, I could feel my way around. Later I got married to Lance and had amazing kids. I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I relied on touch to work out where things were. Cooking, on the other hand, was not my forte. I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and salt! Nowadays, my grandkids have all been brought up not to leave toys on the floor or move chairs away from the table. “We don’t want Grandma tripping,” Lance will say. Over the year, I’ve enjoyed lovely family holidays, but sometimes felt like Lance or the kids were too protective of me. So I was thrilled when I booked myself on a trip to the Gold Coast with people who were just like me in a travel company. I’m not missing out — my life is beautiful. I’m so lucky to have a wonderful family and lots of experiences. Life is precious — you don’t need to “see” that. 24. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. The reading glasses got the problem fixed. B. She always tripped because she was awkward. C. She got severe visual impairment at the age of 13. D. Nobody realized her sight was poor until she was 13. 25. What does the underlined word “forte” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Weakness. B. Favourite. C. Strength. D. Business. 26. What can we know about the author? A. She is able to see things clearly now. B. She led a lonely and hopeless life. C. She could help care for the kids. D. She went to the Gold Coast all by herself. 27. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. We need to go to travel frequently on our own. B. We should always turn to the family for help. C. Everyone should pay special attention to the blind people. D. Everyone can enjoy the beauty of life with a positive mind. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者并没有让严重的视力障碍变成自己生活的阻碍，而是继续做喜欢的事情，在结婚有了孩子之后可以帮忙照顾孩子，在成为祖母之后独自加入旅行团去欣赏世界的美丽的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍). In fact, I was practically blind. Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! (几天后，我被诊断出患有严重的视力障碍。事实上，我几乎是瞎了。令人惊讶的是，我已经成功地活到了13岁而没有人发现，甚至我自己也没有！)”可知，在作者13岁被诊断出视力障碍之前，没有人意识到她的视力很差。故选D项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句“I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and salt! (我太糟糕了——总是把糖和盐混在一起！)”可知，作者总是弄混糖和盐，因此她是不擅长烹饪的。由此推知，forte意思是“长处”，与strength意思相近。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I relied on touch to work out where things were. (我可以给孩子们换尿布，给他们穿衣服——只是要花更长的时间，因为我要靠触摸来找出东西在哪里。)”可知，虽然作者视力不好，但是可以为孩子们换尿布以及穿衣服，因此是可以帮忙照顾孩子的。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合最后一段“Life is precious — you don’t need to “see” that. (生命是宝贵的——你不需要去“看”它。)”可知，作者虽然有严重的视力障碍，但是这没有成为她生活的阻碍，她乐观地继续做喜欢的事情，在结婚有了孩子之后可以帮忙照顾孩子，在成为祖母之后独自加入旅行团去欣赏世界的美丽，视力问题不妨碍她用心去体验生命。由此可知，作者的故事告诉我们每个人都可以用积极的心态享受生命的美好。故选D项。 C Elephants are endangered animals because of efforts to hunt them for their ivory tusks(象牙).Selling ivory has been illegal for more than 30 years worldwide. So, 17-year-old Anika Puri was astonished to see a market filled with rows of ivory jewelry and statues on her visit to India 4 years ago. Curious, Anika did some research and discovered a shocking statistic: Africa’s forest elephant populations declined by about 62 percent between 2002 and 2011. Years later, the numbers continue to drop. As a wildlife lover, Anika wanted to do something to help protect the animals still threatened by illegal hunting. “Drones(无人机)are currently used to detect and capture images of hunters, but they are not that accurate,” Anika explained. However, after watching videos of elephants and humans, she saw how the two differed in their movements andspeed. She realized she could use it to “increase the detection accuracy of potential illegal hunters”. Over the next two years, Anika worked on inventing a software, which can classify a figure as either an elephant or a human based on the speed, group size,how it turns and other patterns in videos. The software is four times more accurate than existing detection methods and is much cheaper. It uses a $ 250 camera that plugs into a smart phone, which is then attached to a drone.The camera records thermal infrared(红外线的)videos using heat, not visible light. This allows the device to produce real-time inferences as it flies over parks as to whether objects below are humans or elephants, no matter in daylight or at night. “Research isn’t a straight line or a smooth sailing,” Anika said. “It has made me more resourceful. It also helped me develop into a more innovative thinker. I have learned a lot along the way.” 28. Why was Anika surprised? A. Elephant populations were small. B. Elephants were losing their habitats. C. Elephant tusks were illegally traded. D. Elephants were an endangered species. 29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The speed. B. The difference. C. The work. D. The software. 30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The low cost of the camera. B. The flight pattern of the drone. C. The components of the device. D. The advantages of the software. 31. Which word best describes Anika according to the last paragraph? A. Optimistic. B. Tolerant. C. Talented. D. Curious. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名为Anika Puri的女孩发明了一个低成本的探测工具，帮助实时发现大象偷猎者的故事。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一自然段“So,17-year-old Anika Puri was astonished to see a market filled with rows of ivory jewelry and statues on her visit to India 4 years ago. (因此，17岁的Anika Puri在4年前访问印度时，惊讶地看到市场上摆满了一排排象牙珠宝和雕像。)”可知，Anika惊讶于她在印度的一个市场竟还能看到非法的象牙交易。故选C。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三自然段““Drones(无人机)are currently used to detect and capture images of hunters, but they are not that accurate,” Anika explained. However, after watching videos of elephants and humans, she saw how the two differed in their movements and speed. (Anika解释道：“无人机目前被用来探测和捕捉猎人的图像，但它们并没有那么准确。”。然而，在观看了大象和人类的视频后，她看到了两者在动作和速度上的差异。)”可知，Anika看到了两者在动作和速度上的差异。因此，她想通过借助视频中大象与人的行为和速度的不同，来提高发现可疑的非法捕猎者的精确度。“it”是对这一不同的概括和指代。故选B。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五自然段“The software is four times more accurate than existing detection methods and is much cheaper. It uses a $ 250 camera that plugs into a smart phone, which is then attached to a drone. The camera records thermal infrared(红外线的)videos using heat, not visible light. This allows the device to produce real-time inferences as it flies over parks as to whether objects below are humans or elephants, no matter in daylight or at night. (该软件的准确度是现有检测方法的四倍，而且价格便宜得多。它使用一个250美元的摄像头，将其插入智能手机，然后将其连接到无人机上。该摄像头使用热量而非可见光记录热红外视频。这使得该设备能够在飞越公园时实时推断下面的物体是人还是大象，无论是白天还是晚上。)”可知，本段主要介绍了Anika发明的探测工具精确度高、价格低、提供实时监测，可概括为该探测工具的优点。A、B、C在本段都有提及，但以偏概全。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Research isn’t a straight line or a smooth sailing,” Anika said. “It has made me more resourceful. It also helped me develop into a more innovative thinker. I have learned a lot along the way.”(安妮卡说：“研究不是一条直线，也不是一帆风顺。”“这让我变得更加足智多谋。它也帮助我发展成为一个更具创新性的思想家。一路上我学到了很多。”)”可知，尽管研究的过程十分波折，Anika却认为它使自己更加随机应变并学会创新，一直学到新东西，由此可推知，Anika是一个积极乐观的人。故选A。 D A robot may be defined as a machine that can be programmed to perform acts automatically. With the increase in high technology, robots are taking over boring or inconvenient work in many areas of life. One area where robots are making an appearance is farming. There is a robotic revolution going on in the milking industry, and cows, as well as farmers are experiencing the benefits. The advantage for the cows is that they can choose when and how many times a day they want to be milked. On the other hand, farmers no longer have to get up at 4 am every day to go to the milking sheds and this makes a huge difference to their way of life. In traditional farming, cows are milked twice a day, in the morning and the evening, mainly because: this is the most convenient way for farmers to get two milking sessions completed in one day. However, this is not necessarily the best way for each individual cow. Because the robots are programmed to milk the cows whenever they arrive, the cows can be milked once, twice or even four times a day. It is an entirely voluntary system for the cows. They decide. Farmers report that midnight is a particularly busy time at the milking shed. The interesting thing is the cows like the system once they get used to it. Farmers report that milk production increases, the cows live longer and they seem far more relaxed. The computerized robotic system is entirely automatic. As the cows enter the facility, they are weighed, milked and productivity and health checks are carried out. The facility cleans itself at regular intervals(间隔)and if there is a problem, the robot sends the farmer a message. Equipping a farm with robots is not cheap. However, farmers who have installed the robotic milking sheds, say they would never go back to the old system. The commonly reported sight of cows queuing patiently in front of their favourite robot must mean the cows like it too. 32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To talk about a kind of robot. B. To tell the importance of robots. C. To introduce the applications of robots. D. To provide the definition of robotic system. 33. What benefit may robots bring to the cows according to the text? A. They can be freer to be milked. B. They can be milked twice a day. C. They can choose the day to be milked. D. They can get up at 4 am to be milked. 34. Which of the following would the author probably agree? A. The robotic system is entirely automatic except for health checks. B. The robotic system is so expensive that farmers will never install one. C. The robotic system is voluntary for cows to be milked of their own free will. D. Morning and evening are the two most convenient milking sessions for cows. 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. A robotic revolution in milking B. Cows favourite helper C. Hands free for the farmers D. An expensive milking shed 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种挤奶机器人，奶牛和农民都能从使用机器人中受益。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A robot may be defined as a machine that can be programmed to perform acts automatically. With the increase in high technology, robots are taking over boring or inconvenient work in many areas of life.(机器人可以被定义为一种可以通过编程自动执行动作的机器。随着高科技的发展，机器人正在接管生活中许多枯燥或不方便的工作。)”可知，第一段的目的是介绍机器人的应用。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The advantage for the cows is that they can choose when and how many times a day they want to be milked.(对奶牛来说，这样做的好处是它们可以选择每天什么时候挤奶以及挤奶多少次)”可知，机器人给奶牛带来的好处是它们可以更自由地被挤奶。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because the robots are programmed to milk the cows whenever they arrive, the cows can be milked once, twice or even four times a day. It is an entirely voluntary system for the cows.(由于机器人经过编程，只要它们到达，就会给奶牛挤奶，因此每天可以给奶牛挤奶一次、两次甚至四次。对奶牛来说，这是一个完全自愿的制度)”可推知，作者可能会同意机器人系统是自愿的，奶牛可以根据自己的意愿挤奶。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“One area where robots are making an appearance is farming. There is a robotic revolution going on in the milking industry, and cows, as well as farmers are experiencing the benefits.(机器人正在出现的一个领域是农业。挤奶行业正在进行一场机器人革命，奶牛和农民都在从中受益)”再结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了一种挤奶机器人，以及它对奶牛和农民的好处，所以A项“挤奶的机器人改革”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Cat-Cow, Crow, Downward-facing dog and Pigeon: these names might sound like animals but they are actually yoga poses. ____36____ What is yoga? Yoga is exercise for the body and mind. It combines moving your body into different positions while focusing on your breathing. Yoga was first practiced around 5, 000 years ago in what is now northern India, where it was linked to the religion of Hinduism. For example, a yoga sequence was developed to greet Surya, the Hindu god of the Sun.____37____There are many different types of yoga but one of the most common is hatha yoga. This combines traditional yoga movements with breathing exercises. ____38____ Yoga encourages you to connect your mind and body and to link your existence to the wider universe. Many people find this helpful because they are reminded of the “bigger picture”, which can make their worries or unhelpful thoughts feel more manageable. Yoga's focus on breathing and movement can be calming. ____39____Elysia, aged seventeen, agrees. “I love yoga because it gives me peace and time to think,” she says. What if my body isn't bendy? Yoga isn’t just for gymnasts. ____40____According to NHS England, yoga can make your muscles stronger, improve your flexibility and lead to better balance and coordination. Many professional athletes and sportspeople practice yoga. This convinced Joseph, aged eight, to try it. He told The Week Junior, “I wanted to try yoga because I love tennis and I know that Novak Djokovic says it helps him be the best and stops him from getting injured.” A. How do I get started? B. Why is it good for me? C. It’s a skill that can be learned by anybody. D. Take your time with these poses and keep practicing ones that you find difficult. E. Learning how to move your body into these poses does take practice but your wellbeing is likely to improve. F. However, yoga has now evolved and is practised all over the world by people of different faiths and backgrounds. G. Research has shown that yoga can be especially helpful for young people's mental health by giving time out from daily distractions and boosting concentration. 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. B 39. G 40.

Have fun. Do your own thing.””可知，教练提醒作者不用担心舞步，只是去享受，因此消除作者对运动的恐惧。故选C。 【52题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我不必事事完美。A. ambitious有雄心的；B. enthusiastic热情的；C. adorable可爱的，讨人喜爱的；D. perfect完美的。根据下文“I didn’t even have to be good”可知，作者甚至不需要表现得很好，因此是觉得不必事事完美。故选D。 【53题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我只需要感受音乐，然后动起来。A. feel感受；B. accept接受；C. display显示；D. compare比较。根据上文“The instructor would always say: “Don’t worry about the steps.

I don’t know what made the guy quit ________ (探索) the old village. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】exploring 【解析】 【详解】考查动词。句意：我不知道是什么让他放弃了探索这个古老的村庄。根据提示的汉语可知，表示“探索”应为explore，根据quit doing sth.意为“放弃做某事”，所以此处应为动名词形式作宾语，结合句意，此处表示主动意义。故填exploring。 68. Thanks to the_______(先进的) technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】advanced 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：多亏了先进的技术，我们生活在一个通讯更好的时代。分析句意可知，此处使用形容词advanced表示“先进的”，作定语。故填advanced。 69. My hometown has changed beyond __________ (认出；识别).

I became a teacher because I __________ (更喜欢) books and people to politics. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】preferred 【解析】 【详解】考查动词。句意：我之所以成为一名教师，是因为比起政治，我更喜欢书籍和人。分析句子结构可知，此处应为谓语动词，根据提示的汉语，表示“更喜欢”应为prefer，结合主句中的谓语动词became可知，此处描述的是过去的事情，所以使用一般过去时，prefer与句子主语I之间为主动关系。故填preferred。 75 I’m always ________ (钦佩) you for your bravery. （根据汉语提示单词拼写） 【答案】admiring 【解析】 【详解】考查动词。句意：我一直很钦佩你的勇敢。根据汉语提示可知，admire“钦佩”，动词，句子是现在进行时，空处用现在分词。故填admiring。 第六部分 按照所给要求完成句子(共5小题, 每小题3分, 满分15分) 76. 我决定去参观颐和园，这是我朋友推荐给我的。(which引导的非限制性定语从句） I decided to pay a visit to the Summer Palace, __________________________________. 【答案】which my friend recommended to me 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the Summer Palace，关系词替代先行词在从句中作宾语，指物应用关系代词which；主语为my friend；表示“推荐”应用recommend，根据上文decided可知为一般过去时。故填which my friend recommended to me。 77. 老师要求同学们为考试做好充分准备。（request that+宾语从句） The teacher __________________________________. 【答案】requested that the students (should) be well prepared for the exam 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句和虚拟语气。“要求”使用动词request，“同学们为考试做好充分准备”译为一个宾语从句，使用虚拟语气，谓语部分使用“should+动词原形”，should可省略，“同学们”使用名词复数students，“为……做好充分准备”使用固定短语be well prepared for，“考试”使用名词exam，主句使用一般过去时，从句结构、意义完整，应用that引导，故填requested that the students (should) be well prepared for the exam。 78. 正因为雪下得很大我才待在家里。(强调句型) __________________________________I stayed at home 【答案】It was because it snowed heavily that 【解析】 【详解】考查强调句型，时态和从句。结合stayed可知句子使用一般过去时，“因为”使用because引导原因状语从句，使用it作主语，表示天气，“下雪”使用动词snow，“很大”使用副词heavily，本句使用强调句型“It was+被强调部分+that/who(被强调部分是人时可用who)+其他”，本句中被强调部分是原因状语从句，故填It was because it snowed heavily that。 79. 八十多个国家都玩欧式足球，这使得欧式足球成为世界上最受欢迎的运动。(分词作结果状语) European football is played in more than 80 countries, __________________________________. 【答案】making it the most popular sports in the world 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。“这使得欧式足球成为世界上最受欢迎的运动”是上文的结果，可处理为现在分词短语，表示情理之中的结果；“使”用使役动词make表示，与其逻辑主语，即“八十多个国家都玩欧式足球”，之间是主动关系，用现在分词making，宾语“欧式足球”用代词it指代，“世界上最受欢迎的运动”作宾语补足语，用the most popular sports in the world表示。故填making it the most popular sports in the world。 80. 尽管我们的爱好各不相同，但我们还是好朋友。(even if/even though引导的让步状语从句) __________________________________, we’re still great friends. 【答案】Even if/Even though we have different hobbies 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句和短语。引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管”应用even if/even though；主语为we；表示“爱好各不相同”为have different hobbies，此处为主将从现。首字母大写。故填Even if/Even though we have different hobbies。 第七部分 写作(满分15分) 81. 为了让同学们远离疾病，保持健康，你们班将举行一次英语班会，主题为“How to be strong and healthy”。请你根据下面提示写一篇发言稿，主要内容包括： 1. 存在的问题； 2. 解决方法； 3. 发出号召。 注意：1. 词数 80 左右；2. 开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 How to be strong and healthy Good morning, boys and girls!

Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍). In fact, I was practically blind. Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! “It all makes sense now,” Mum said. As a kid living on a farm, I was forever falling over things. I was known as the clumsy (笨拙) one to my parents and four sisters. But now, I was being told that I saw the world differently — I could only make out the outlines of things. I was given reading glasses but they didn’t help much. Refusing to let my diagnosis hold me back, I continued doing everything I loved. As long as everything was in its place, I could feel my way around. Later I got married to Lance and had amazing kids. I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I relied on touch to work out where things were. Cooking, on the other hand, was not my forte. I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and salt! Nowadays, my grandkids have all been brought up not to leave toys on the floor or move chairs away from the table. “We don’t want Grandma tripping,” Lance will say. Over the year, I’ve enjoyed lovely family holidays, but sometimes felt like Lance or the kids were too protective of me. So I was thrilled when I booked myself on a trip to the Gold Coast with people who were just like me in a travel company. I’m not missing out — my life is beautiful. I’m so lucky to have a wonderful family and lots of experiences. Life is precious — you don’t need to “see” that. 24. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. The reading glasses got the problem fixed. B. She always tripped because she was awkward. C. She got severe visual impairment at the age of 13. D. Nobody realized her sight was poor until she was 13. 25. What does the underlined word “forte” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Weakness. B. Favourite. C. Strength. D. Business. 26. What can we know about the author? A. She is able to see things clearly now. B. She led a lonely and hopeless life. C. She could help care for the kids. D. She went to the Gold Coast all by herself. 27. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. We need to go to travel frequently on our own. B. We should always turn to the family for help. C. Everyone should pay special attention to the blind people. D. Everyone can enjoy the beauty of life with a positive mind. C Elephants are endangered animals because of efforts to hunt them for their ivory tusks(象牙).Selling ivory has been illegal for more than 30 years worldwide. So, 17-year-old Anika Puri was astonished to see a market filled with rows of ivory jewelry and statues on her visit to India 4 years ago. Curious, Anika did some research and discovered a shocking statistic: Africa’s forest elephant populations declined by about 62 percent between 2002 and 2011. Years later, the numbers continue to drop. As a wildlife lover, Anika wanted to do something to help protect the animals still threatened by illegal hunting. “Drones(无人机)are currently used to detect and capture images of hunters, but they are not that accurate,” Anika explained. However, after watching videos of elephants and humans, she saw how the two differed in their movements andspeed. She realized she could use it to “increase the detection accuracy of potential illegal hunters”. Over the next two years, Anika worked on inventing a software, which can classify a figure as either an elephant or a human based on the speed, group size,how it turns and other patterns in videos. The software is four times more accurate than existing detection methods and is much cheaper. It uses a $ 250 camera that plugs into a smart phone, which is then attached to a drone.The camera records thermal infrared(红外线的)videos using heat, not visible light. This allows the device to produce real-time inferences as it flies over parks as to whether objects below are humans or elephants, no matter in daylight or at night. “Research isn’t a straight line or a smooth sailing,” Anika said. “It has made me more resourceful. It also helped me develop into a more innovative thinker. I have learned a lot along the way.” 28. Why was Anika surprised? A. Elephant populations were small. B. Elephants were losing their habitats. C. Elephant tusks were illegally traded. D. Elephants were an endangered species. 29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The speed. B. The difference. C. The work. D. The software. 30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The low cost of the camera. B. The flight pattern of the drone. C. The components of the device. D. The advantages of the software. 31. Which word best describes Anika according to the last paragraph? A. Optimistic. B. Tolerant. C. Talented. D. Curious. D A robot may be defined as a machine that can be programmed to perform acts automatically. With the increase in high technology, robots are taking over boring or inconvenient work in many areas of life. One area where robots are making an appearance is farming. There is a robotic revolution going on in the milking industry and cows, as well as farmers are experiencing the benefits. The advantage for the cows is that they can choose when and how many times a day they want to be milked. On the other hand, farmers no longer have to get up at 4 am every day to go to the milking sheds and this makes a huge difference to their way of life. In traditional farming, cows are milked twice a day, in the morning and the evening, mainly because: this is the most convenient way for farmers to get two milking sessions completed in one day. However, this is not necessarily the best way for each individual cow. Because the robots are programmed to milk the cows whenever they arrive, the cows can be milked once, twice or even four times a day. It is an entirely voluntary system for the cows. They decide. Farmers report that midnight is a particularly busy time at the milking shed. The interesting thing is the cows like the system once they get used to it. Farmers report that milk production increases, the cows live longer and they seem far more relaxed. The computerized robotic system is entirely automatic. As the cows enter the facility, they are weighed, milked and productivity and health checks are carried out. The facility cleans itself at regular intervals(间隔)and if there is a problem, the robot sends the farmer a message. Equipping a farm with robots is not cheap. However, farmers who have installed the robotic milking sheds, say they would never go back to the old system. The commonly reported sight of cows queuing patiently in front of their favourite robot must mean the cows like it too. 32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To talk about a kind of robot. B. To tell the importance of robots. C. To introduce the applications of robots. D. To provide the definition of robotic system. 33. What benefit may robots bring to the cows according to the text? A. They can be freer to be milked. B. They can be milked twice a day. C. They can choose the day to be milked. D. They can get up at 4 am to be milked. 34. Which of the following would the author probably agree? A. The robotic system is entirely automatic except for health checks. B. The robotic system is so expensive that farmers will never install one. C. The robotic system is voluntary for cows to be milked of their own free will. D. Morning and evening are the two most convenient milking sessions for cows. 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. A robotic revolution in milking B. Cows favourite helper C. Hands free for the farmers D. An expensive milking shed 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Cat-Cow, Crow, Downward-facing dog and Pigeon: these names might sound like animals but they are actually yoga poses. ____36____ What is yoga?
