The robot teacher　Some students in the ROK have a new language teacher： the English-teaching robot. The robots help students practise speaking English. As there are not many foreigners teaching English， the robot teachers can help solve the problem. Can robots replace（代替） human teachers one day？ 一 二 三 四 The superhero suit　Have you ever dreamt of becoming a superhero？ There’s a real Iron Man suit， XOS 2. The suit provides the power to lift about 200 pounds and break the wood easily. It was made to help lift the heavy things. One person in the suit can do the work of three people. The hard-working robot　The EMIEW 2 robot is a perfect office helper. It can guide visitors to the place where they want to go. The 80- centimetre-tall robot can know different human voices and give help if you tell it what to do clearly. One day， it might work as a guard. 一 二 三 四 （　B　）26. What do the robot teachers teach？ A. Maths. B. English. C. Chinese. D. History. （　B　）27. A man in the superhero suit can do the work of  　　　　people. A. six B. three C. four D. five B B 一 二 三 四 （　D　）28.

C. About a hard-working robot. D. About three cool inventions. D 一 二 三 四 B Scientists say they recently invented the world’s tiniest remote- controlled robots. The robots are small enough to sit on the side of a coin. They don’t have any power of their own， and they can be controlled from a distance by using lasers（激光器）. The robots don’t move very quickly. But because of their tiny size， they’re also not too slow. It takes the robots about 20 seconds to cover 1 centimetre. 一 二 三 四 Right now the robots aren’t all that useful. All they can do is move， and they need to be in a place where lasers can shine on them to do that. But the scientists say these robots are an important step toward inventing more helpful tiny robots. The researchers say that one day tiny robots like these might be able to work in very small spaces. It’s possible that they could build very tiny machines， or perhaps even travel inside the human body to help deal with medical problems. 一 二 三 四 Using similar building methods， the scientists have made a number of different robots， including ones that looked like small insects. John Rogers says that their methods allow them to build walking robots in almost all sizes or 3D shapes. 一 二 三 四 （　A　）31. The world’s tiniest remote-controlled robots move by  　　　　. A. laser B. solar power C. its own energy D. electricity （　C　）32. How far can the tiniest remote-controlled robots walk in a minute？ A. 1 centimetre. B. 2 centimetres. C. 3 centimetres. D. 4 centimetres. A C 一 二 三 四 （　B　）33. The tiniest remote-controlled robots  　　　　. A. are able to work in very small areas now B. can only move now C. are all very useful now D. move very slowly B 一 二 三 四 （　A　）34. According to the passage， which of the following may be possible in the future？ A. Scientists build tiny machines to travel inside the human body to help doctors. B. Scientists use tiny robots to make insects. C. Scientists use tiny robots to build walking robots in different sizes. D. People don’t need to use bigger robots. A 一 二 三 四 （　D　）35. What is the best title for this passage？ A. Scientists’ new inventions B. The history of robots C. How to use the tiniest robots D. The tiniest remote-controlled robots D 一 二 三 四 C（2024·广州市真光中学期中） The mobile phone is a great invention. It makes our lives more convenient. Now most people have a mobile phone. Do you have a mobile phone？ Do you send text messages to your friends and family with your mobile phone？ 一 二 三 四 Text-messaging or texting is becoming very popular. But scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful！Too much texting can cause the swelling（肿胀） in our thumbs（拇指） and wrists（手腕）. Our thumbs are not used for pushing small buttons， over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI. We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson， who had treated（治疗） many patients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending on text-messaging. If we are spending more than 10～15 minutes once， we could have problems in the future. 一 二 三 四 We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats RSI patients. She told us that the youngest patient she had treated was a five-year-old girl. The girl wasn’t doing well at school， so her parents took her for treatment. It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands. She couldn’t even hold a pencil. 一 二 三 四 As mobile phones develop， they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can also cause the same problem. So， more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Many university students and teenagers have RSI， as they did not know the danger of spending so much time on computers， video games and mobile phones. If we don’t do something about this， too many young people could grow up in terrible pain. 一 二 三 四 （　D　）36. Who were interviewed about the problem RSI in this passage？ A. Three scientists. B. The writer and a little girl. C. Four doctors. D. Harriet Wilson and Harjeet Deepa. （　C　）37. What does the underlined word “once” mean in the third paragraph？ A. Right away. B. Finally. C. At one time. D. At least. D C 一 二 三 四 （　B　）38. Why COULDN’T the five-year-old little girl hold a pencil？ A. Because she didn’t go to school. B. Because she suffered a lot from RSI. C. Because she had no thumbs at all. D. Because she was too young. B 一 二 三 四 （　D　）39. What can we know from the passage？ A. It is worse to spend less time text-messaging. B. University students who have RSI knew it’s dangerous to do too much texting. C. Using the computer keyboard will never cause RSI. D. It is better to use a large phone with bigger buttons when we have to type. （　A　）40. You can probably read this passage in a  　　　　. A. science book B. storybook C. guidebook D. diary D A 一 二 三 四 第二节　（2024·广州市第二中学期中）阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1 分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入41～45各题空白处的最佳 选项。 A. You should use your dictionary in the right way. B. Here are some tips on how to use a dictionary efficiently. C. You can learn some cultural knowledge from a dictionary as well. D. Choosing a good dictionary is very important for an English learner. E. I think you should guess the meaning before you use your dictionary. 一 二 三 四 A dictionary is very useful for the people who are learning English.

You will make more progress if you know how to use a dictionary efficiently（有效地）.  　4111　 Choose a suitable（合适的） dictionary.  　42　 You can choose a dictionary which is suitable for your English level， need and interest. 一 二 三 四 Try to guess the meaning of a new word before you use a dictionary. You may have had such an experience when you are reading a passage. There’re some new words in it and you have difficulty in understanding the full passage. What will you do in this situation？ 　4311 　 Learn culture from a dictionary. You don’t just learn a new word’s pronunciation， meaning， part of speech and other usages.  　4411 　 A dictionary is a good friend for you to learn English. It’s a waste for you not to use a dictionary in your studies. But don’t think the more you use a dictionary， the better result you can get.  　4511 　 一 二 三 四 If you can do as I have told you， I think you will improve your English soon. 41. 　　　42. 　　　43. 　　　44. ⁠　　　 45. ⁠ B　 D　 E　 C　 A　 一 二 三 四 第一节　语篇填词（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形 式，每空限填一词。 Today， many inventions can be better known.

People are making better lighting products. They can help to save energy and protect the environment. What’s more， they are cheaper.　 I hope it will become more and more useful in the future.　 My favourite invention 一 二 三 四 $$
